5th Plow Day a Big Success

Plow Day just keeps getting bigger and better. The fifth installment of the annual event, organized by Sammy and Ron Thompson, was held Saturday and Sunday on Ridgeville Road in Riga Township.

This year’s event featured more music, more food, and more horses, antique tractors, plows and farm equipment than ever before.

“It couldn’t have been better. Everyone I talked to said they had a great time. The weather was nice. We had more things to do than ever and we had our best turn out,” said Sammy Thompson.
