If you saw these tractor trailer rigs rolling down the highway, you might not think much of it, but this is a convoy. Several area farmers and truckers from Huron, Sanilac, Tuscola, and Lapeer counties have decided to create this convoy to take much needed supplies to the pan handle after they were recently ravished by fire. Locally, Matthew Booms of Harbor Beach, and his fiancee, Jamie Grifka of Ubly are part of the convoy taking hay, nutricional suppliments, fencing, and other supplies to local farmers and ranchers in Texas, Oklahoma and other parts of the Pan Handle. Early this morning (Saturday) they were in Miami Oklahoma picking up more supplies. Grifka said they should be dropping of later today and heading back to Michigan to reach home by Sunday Night. Booms said that many of the states had lifted the permit requirements. Normally truckers have to get permits to travel from state to state, but because this is an aide mission, those permits have been waived by most of the states. Booms said another convoy is planned for later this month to take more supplies to the Pan Handle. If you are interested in being a part of the convoy or would like to donate call Matt Schaller at (810) 614-0968.
