Due to forecast stormy weather, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority announced that the “Tractors & Tunes” event set for Friday afternoon will be postponed to next Friday, Oct. 9 from 5:30–8 p.m. on East Main Street in downtown Statesboro.

The free, family-friendly that celebrates local agriculture will be held next Friday.

Agriculture plays a vital role in the local economy, and the event offers residents a chance to learn more about the Chamber’s agricultural partners — while enjoying great music from The Mud Road Band.

The event will feature live entertainment, educational farm exhibits, farm animals, tractor displays and opportunities to shop and dine downtown. Sponsor tents for Tractors & Tunes will be located on the Bulloch County Courthouse lawn and families can enjoy a bouncy house.

Also, guests will have the opportunity to get an up-close look at farm equipment used by area farmers and supplied by local businesses.

The Chamber extends special thanks to the event’s presenting sponsor Agri Supply of Statesboro, along with Gold sponsors: Tidewater Agricultural Equipment Company, Shea Tractor and Equipment Company, Bobcat of Statesboro / Shoemaker Irrigation Supply and Jim 'N Nicks Community Bar-B-Q. Silver Sponsors include AgSouth Farm Credit ACA, Bulloch County Farm Bureau, Bulloch Fertilizer Company, and CORE Credit Union.
