Jul. 11—The Double-O Tractor Ride will return to Albert Lea and other parts of southern Minnesota once again this summer.

The event will take place this year on Saturday.

For lunch, there will be a burger basket meal at the Moose Lodge available to the public for $9. Then, the tractors will depart for Clarks Grove and stop briefly in the park before continuing on to the West Freeborn Lutheran Church and returning to Albert Lea.
