PA State Farm Show Exhibit
For many years, the Waterloo Boys have been exhibiting several two cylinder tractors and providing information for visitors to the annual PA State Farm Show, held at the Exhibition Center in Harrisburg in January. This week long event promotes the club and the benefits of membership, sells raffle tickets, and presents an opportunity to educate the public about the characteristics that make John Deere two cylinder tractors so special. This event is an opportunity for members to share their knowledge and enthusiasm by helping to staff the club's booth at the show.
Spring Banquet and Auction
The Spring Banquet and Auction is a very popular event and a great fund raiser for the club. This popular event includes great food, great socializing, and an opportunity to bid on everything from tractor parts to books, toys, Easter baskets, and many other things. The 2007 Spring Banquet and Auction will be held March 10 at the White Horse Fire Company.
Plow Day
The annual Plow Day is an opportunity for members to plow with their John Deere or other tractors, and for other members to watch a variety of antique tractors plowing a field. Typically, over 20 tractors participate with at least twice that many members and their families in attendance to enjoy the sights and sounds of tractors at work, as well as good food and camaraderie. The 2007 Plow Day will be April 7 at a location in Kennet Square (directions will be posted).
Tech Days
Tech Days are held the third Monday of each month from April through October. Tech Days are an opportunity to bring your John Deere problems (and your tractor, if you wish) to a shop owned by a member. Experts and amateur enthusiasts alike will be demonstrating, fixing and sharing their talents with club members. The 2007 Tech Days dates and location will be posted here soon.

Christmas Banquet
