before the show. Terry reports 12 or 13 tractors made the trip, and they had a great time.

Tractor Show

THANKS to all who helped at the tractor show this year. We had a successful show. New this year was a contest to see how many men it took to pull a plow (actually plow a furrow). Eight men accomplished this feat this year. We also had a blacksmith demonstrating his craft.

Mackinac Bridge Crossing

Anna said our club had 28 tractors with 10 buddy riders cross the bridge. There were no problems. Driver Mike Henderson proposed marriage on the bridge to his buddy rider, Melissa. Melissa said, “Yes.” Congratulations to you both!

“Fair at Hensells”

As our club did not go to the fair this year, the Hensells, (club members) invited us to bring tractors to their farm and display them the week of the fair. Their garage was turned into a kitchen, people brought food and had a good time. Farm tractors, lawn tractors, implements, 79 in all, decorated their lawn. Signs (thank you Allison and Tina) directed people to stop in and look. Saturday 14 tractors took a 3 hour ride.   A big “THANK YOU” to the Hensells.
