A lawn tractor driving training and safety instruction will be held for 4-H youth on Monday, July 1st, at 5 p.m. at Taylor and Messick in Harrington. The address is 325 Walt Messick Road, Harrington, DE.

The Lawn Tractor Driving Contest is designed to give 4-H members an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in lawn care, business management, and lawn and garden tractor (less than 20 Hp) operation, maintenance, and safety while competing with other 4-Hers. Safety is stressed throughout the contest.

While this training is not mandatory for contestants entered in the Lawn Tractor Competition at the Delaware State Fair on July 27th, it is strongly recommended, particularly if the 4-H member is a first-time contestant.
