This weekend is the annual tractor show at the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. You will likely never see any advertisement about this museum but it is considered one of the top five automobile museums in the country. I have been to tractor shows from California to New York and from Canada to Florida but this one always stands out as one of the finest. The Gilmore is about twenty miles north east of Kalamazoo and is in the country with rolling hills, ninety acres of manicured lawns, white fences and will remind you of a country club setting. The main building is a modern, air condition, building that houses many of their famous automobile displays but the satellite dealership buildings are equally impressive as are their beautifully restored barns. Once each year they allow the Kalamazoo Tractor Club to have their tractor show on their grounds. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to participate in this event. Even if you do not like cars and tractors you will be impressed with the quality of the facility and of the restorations. It is like a time machine and it will take you back to your childhood and while you are reminiscing you can have a malt at the 50's diner. A lot of people are going to a lot of work and expense for others to enjoy. Come out and join us this weekend and treat the family to a great experience. My wife and I will be there and would love to meet you kind folks so be sure to introduce yourselfs. Tom
