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 2011 Spring Banquet and Auction will be held March 5 at the Bareville Fire Compnay, 211 E. Main Street, Leola, PA 17540.
Tech Days
Tech Days are held the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at the R&T Shop (by the loading dock). Tech Days are an opportunity to bring your John Deere problems (and your tractor, if you wish) to a shop owned by a member. Members will be assessing the condition of the club's John Deere Model B.
