SNOW HILL Even as farm
fields are being planted in corn and
soybeans, farmers are preparing
their combines for the summer and
fall harvests.
Several Worcester County farm-
ers including George Lee Clay-
ville, Bill Figgs, Byron Hauck, Lee
Holloway, Buster Powell, Roger
Richardson, David Shockley and
Virgil Shockley are readying their
machines for the Blessing of the
Combines on Aug. 3.
Festivities in downtown Snow Hill
begin at 11 a.m. and conclude at 3
p.m.
A Parade of Combines, led by
antique tractors and by Orem Per-
due's horse-drawn combine, moves
slowly south on Route 12, across
the drawbridge over the Pocomoke
River, and west onto Green Street.
Parade directors lead each com-
bine to its stopping place and, with
turn-on-a-dime accuracy, position
each at the perfect angle.
Music, food, vendors, crafts, a
petting barnyard, activities for chil-
dren, hay rides, carriage and pony
rides and Scales and Tales are
ongoing.
The program, directed by Master
of Ceremonies Steve Hales, in-
cludes welcomes, introductions and
a keynote address by Jim Perdue.
