Roof Garden Tractor Buddies celebrate 20th anniversary

Over a hundred people gathered today to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Roof Garden Tractor Buddies.

The Roof Garden Tractor Buddies are a group of square dancing tractors here in Somerset county. They started in 2003 and have since grown in popularity and membership.

Bill Blough is a local farmer and founder of the group. He came up with the idea after reading a newspaper article about dancing tractors in Iowa and decided to create something similar here.

“ I was born and raised on a farm," said Blough. "I’ve been driving tractors since I’ve been about 5 years old and started square dancing when I was 9 and we just started putting those things together."

When asked about what he thought about this being the 20th anniversary of the dancing group, Blough said;

“ it’s been an exciting adventure, some people told me it would never get off the ground when I started it but here we are today and it has gotten off the ground and I think it flew quite well."

You can support the group by attending their events or even joining in as they are always looking for new members.
