The Livermore Lions Club held the 2021 Tractor Drive on Sunday, September 19 for the benefit of the Lions Club Eye Screening Program, "KidSight".
The day started out stormy-looking, but that did not stop the tractors and their drivers from arriving at the start point, Myer Creek Park, Calhoun, KY. By 11:30, the drive was on the move leaving Myer Creek Park and headed towards the Livermore City Building via Richland Road, Hicks Road, Highway 136 and into Livermore via Main Street and Dr. Sam Scott Drive.
After lunch at the Livermore City Building, it was back to Myer Creek Park, via Highway 136, Nuckols-Old Buck Creek Rd, Rte 1080, Rte 250, and finally Highway 136 again, into the Park.
The major rains remained at a distance and so we were blessed with only a few showers. The route was a beautiful drive and we thank all who were able to participate.
Another Tractor Drive is in the books and it was a beautiful day for this event! Sunny and breezy - just right for driving a tractor through the beautiful farm land in our McLean County. To view more photos from this special day visit our Face Book site:

The Livermore Lions Club selected a beautiful day for their annual Tractor Drive which benefits their Eye Screening Program! Temps were perfect with sunshine and just enough of a breeze to stay comfortable. Twenty-two tractors participated in this fundraiser. They set out from Myer Creek Park with an escort and proceeded through many of the back roads of McLean County. The destination was Sacramento at the Battle Fields where they enjoyed lunch prepared by the Lions. And then back on the roads again towards Myer Creek Park. It was a beautiful day! Thanks to all who participated in this event.

What a fantastic night for a parade! 67 degrees with no rain in sight! There were Emergency Service Vehicles, the Sheriff and Fire Trucks that really knew how to let people know they were coming - their sirens were awesome as were their lights and decorations!
The ROTC marched smartly keeping cadence and in perfect step. The McLean County High School Band played the entire route and many wore lighted units - so cool!
The floats, golf carts, UTV's , XUV's, classic cars, motor cycles and a canine-drawn buggy preceded the Jolly Ole Elf, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus as well as Annie the Elf! What a night!

Livermore Lions Christmas Parade - December 12, 2015
Kristine Albin led the 22 tractors from Myers Creek over the Calhoun Bridge and the Livermore Bridge to the Livermore RV Park for lunch, prepared by the Livermore Lions Club. Then they proceeded to drive back to Myers Creek via Dr. Sam Scott Drive right through the KDBA drag boat race crowds, up Main Street to Hwy 136 and then Richland Road. Quite a trip and all for the sake of "Driving for Sight".
KidSight eye screening is offered free by Lions Clubs and these type of activities help support this worthy cause.
