The Vinton-Shellsburg FFA chapter hosted their annual Drive Your Tractor to School Day on Wednesday, March 26th, and it was a hit among the high schoolers. 15 tractors were driven to school, filling the parking lot with everything from vintage to modern models. The event sparked excitement and pride among students, showcasing their love for farming and agriculture.

To cap off the day, after a brief parade to TJ Gas, everyone enjoyed a treat with ice cream from Tootsies (sponsored by Thomas Pingenot), making for a fun and memorable end to the school day
