Coming up this Saturday at the Van Buren County Fairgrounds in Hartford will be the third annual Tractor, Truck, or Treat event hosted by Van Buren County 4-H.

The organization’s Denise Noble tells us around 1,200 people came out last year to check out displays of farm vehicles, emergency response equipment, and animals while collecting candy. She says there will be plenty to see this year.

We have a couple fire trucks this year,” Noble said. “Several of the local schools come out in the past. There’s one of them that’s taken a bus and they turned the whole bus into kind of like a haunted house type of thing.”

The Paw Paw Conservation Club will have 3D targets, and Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department will bring out its antique cruiser, and a couple of Blossomtime floats will be there. Noble says the Lions Club be there with a free service.

They have a machine that tests you to make sure that your vision is okay, and they’re going to bring that back again this year. Last year, they tested 60 children and 40 of them were given free referrals for eye care.”

Food trucks will also be on hand.

Noble says 4H is excited to welcome everyone of all ages to have some fun and scoop up some treats. The Tractor, Truck, or Treat will be Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m.
