Echoes Of The Past To Honor Kurt MillerThe third annual Kurt Miller Tractor Drive will take place at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 10.
The drive will leave from his childhood home, 8298 W. CR 600S, Claypool, and make its way through the country, traveling through Mentone before heading back south on CR 1150W. The route will wind its way back down the country roads of Kosciusko County before ending back at its starting point, according to a news release from Echoes of the Past.
Miller was a junior at Tippecanoe Valley High School who was tragically taken from his parents in an accident, the release states. His love of farming and agriculture, 4-H and FFA is the driving force behind the Echoes of the Past and the yearly tractor drive. If there was something farm related happening, you could find Kurt there. Those participating in the drive do so in honor of Kurt, to carry on his memory.
A free-will lunch follows the drive with all monies benefitting the memorial fund set up by his parents in his name. A scholarship is given each year to a graduating Tippecanoe Valley High School senior furthering their education in an area of agriculture.
Igloo ice cream is also sold as a fundraiser for the fund at the drive.
New this year was the addition of a T-shirt that was sold prior to the event to help raise funds as well.
If you would like to participate in the tractor drive or need more information, contact Kyle Miller at 574-377-3947 or check the club website at www.theechoesofthepast.com or the club Facebook page.
