Green's the theme at Historic Farm Days
PENFIELD – The scene's turning green at I&I Antique Tractor and Gas Engine Club headquarters at Penfield.
On Tuesday, trucks loaded with carefully restored, bright green John Deere tractors deposited their loads on club grounds for the 2007 Historic Farm Days, which begins Thursday and continues through Sunday. John Deere is the theme this year and exhibitors arriving early were talking green – tractors, fireworks and even ice cream.
