With most schools beginning by the end of August, now is the time to plan some nice family excursion trips on the weekends in September. Along with checking out McHenry County real estate, be sure to include Stade’s Farm Market. They have planned a host of events during September and October.

Two famous events will be on September 10 and 11 and September 17 and 18. The first is the 5th Annual Classic Car & Truck Show. Spectators and exhibitors are welcome! The following weekend will be Tractors for Charity Show.  This is the 7th Annual Antique Tractor, Truck and Construction Equipment Show. All the proceeds from this show benefits the Fish Food Pantry. Fish provides for families in the McHenry and Johnsburg school districts. These two events will include the equipment exhibit, hay rides, corn maze, petting zoo, local vendors of food and crafts, and various raffles. For more information, visit the Stade’s Farm and Market website.
