There will be a Farm & Garden equipment show at the North Central MO fairgrounds June 14th-15th, 2013. This is in conjunction with the annual "Gooseberry Festival". Antique & classic farm and garden tractors & equipment, old trucks, farm tools etc. will be on display. We have a large area under roof, no entry fees. A drive around town & past the nursing homes is planned a 1 pm Saturday, weather permitting (approx. 4 miles, taking 1 hour. 

Other events around town are a "run/walk" (5/10K, I believe), art show, Gooseberry cooking contests, music contest & more! 

From last year's show:

I'll take this load in tomorrow morning, one more load on the 16' trailer, i'll drive the 317 Special in with the parade carts & probably drive the 420 w/20 plow in.  Tomorrow is a set-up day, show Saturday!  ~~  Lowell

Three trips with the 16' trailer, one with the SNowco & drove the Parade Unit home this afternoon!  Still need to put some of it away, but it's all home!  ~~  Lowell

Pretty good turnout Lowell. Nice bunch of tractors. Are there hopes to make the show bigger, or are you wanting to keep the size of the show limited? Hope the best for you, and wish you guys much success for next year.

I would like to see it grow, but it seems like every town around us has something going on that same weekend, including an older, bigger & well established show about 70 miles away.  We're tied in with the "Gooseberry Festival" for financial reasons, so we probably won't grow a lot.  ~~  Lowell
