Independent Editor,
On Friday Sept. 23, the Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association hosted its 14th annual Rural Living Education Day program with 580 fourth grade students participating from Chesaning, Durand, Merrill, Millington, Owosso and St. Charles Public Schools and also Immanuel Baptist School of Corunna.
It is through the generous donations of time, money, food and supplies made by our MMOGTA members, local businesses and other individuals that we are able to put this program on; including a free lunch, at no cost to the schools or students.
