Ford feature tractor

[rrlund]

I just wanted to let you guys know, Ford is our feature tractor this year at the Old Iron Antique Tractor Club Show
in McBride Michigan, July 28 and 29. We'd sure appreciate it if you'd bring a tractor or two, or just come for the
show.

Where is this in Mcbride? I didn't see a map on the website.

Go east on 57 to Amsden, then north through Sidney to Entrican, then east through Westville, and on east to
McBride. LOL

I was going to email you about the show. We featured Oliver last year. JWondergem brought two of them over and got
third place for Best Restored Feature Tractor with one of them. Since Blanchard doesn't happen anymore, we're the
only local show around here.

I didn't know Blanchard had shut down. I don't get out much anymore!
I know where McBride is, just wasn't sure where the show was.
Been more than a minute since I was at the speedway too!

Go one block (I think McBride has three) past the Post Office in beautiful downtown McBride, across the street from
where the Case dealer used to be, there's a sign that says Robert Davis Park. Turn left there and it's a block
west. If you're bringing a tractor, turn between the Marathon station and the Post Office and go to the end of the
street. You'll go over a hill and right down into the south side of the park and you can unload anywhere.

They haven't had Blanchard in a few years now. They didn't have enough people anymore to do the work to keep it
going. For two years. we put it on with the Greasy Fingers club, thinking they were going to take it over since
they always kind of used it for their annual show anyway, but when we dropped out because we just didn't have it in
us to pit on two shows less than a month apart, they dropped out too. A darned shame. I always liked that show. It
was the first show I ever took a tractor to. I always looked forward to threshing Ray's oats.

Thanks! If I get a chance I might bring Speedy up there.

Looks like something that could walk away with a trophy.

Hey Royse, Speedy is looking mighty fine!

Thanks John! She's got some scratches on the floorboards since
that picture was taken because she's still earning her keep hauling
the landscape rake and leveling the driveway. Will definitely need
a bath before going to a show! lol
