In 1990, we decided to bring something new to the festival. We decided to give away a John Deere tractor during the festival. We buy a brand new John Deere tractor each year. It is usually around a 45 hp tractor with loader. This was a huge hit and continues to be. There are only 450 tickets sold. They are $100 each. We also give away $3,500 in cash prizes during the drawing. If you do not want to take the tractor there is a $14,000 cash option you can take. We draw out every ticket. The very first ticket drawn wins $500. Then every 25th ticket drawn after that either wins $100 or $200. The 449th ticket wins $500 and the 450th ticket drawn is the winner of the tractor! This process usually takes around 2 1/2 hours to determine all the winners. This is held during the festival and always has a big crowd as the drawing is going on. If you would like to buy a ticket, or be put on the list to buy one for the following year, give Karen Wagner a call at (317) 696-7445. This is one of the festivals biggest fundraisers we put on. 

COVID-19 UPDATE:  Unfortunately, due to the current Pandemic, we have cancelled the 2020 Monrovia Festival.  However, the tractor drawing was still held on September 12, 2020 at 3:00pm!  The winner of the tractor was Neal Beams!!!!!  Congratulations, Neal!!!
