Exhibitor and Tractor Pull Information
Tractor Exhibitors
If you are wondering what we're looking for in the Orphans, Homemade and Oddball categories, here are some guidelines.
We are looking for the following to be included in this year's feature. Homemade tractors made for use around the farm or in the woods . Manufacturers that built farm related equipment as a sideline or had a very short / limited production would be welcome. Custom and unique equipment and tools made to use around the homestead. All items must be prior to 1950.
This feature would not include rare items made by the major equipment manufacturers; these would be features for their own manufacturer.
We welcome anyone who has items they would like to display. If you have items you would like to display prior notification is requested by calling a member of the committee. This will assist with the planning and set up of the displays. If you have any questions or concerns contact one of the people listed below. We hope to hear from the folks who have been waiting for the right time to dig out that unusual item.
