Over 1000

[Larry NCKS]

Saturday's tractor parade at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island claims to have over 1000 tractors entered.

It can be seen on RFD-TV at 1 P.M. CDT, Saturday, August 25th. It will be narrated by Max Armstrong.

They claim this will be a new world record number of tractors in a parade with the previous record being somewhere around 750 in England I think.

Hope there are lots of Ford SOS tractors in it.

I was just in Grand Island two weeks ago so will likely watch it on TV.

Do they allow IA tractors in the parade?

Tractors are coming from all over creation. However, I think they've closed registration and are not accepting more at this point.

How do I vote here on this?

Got it!

you don't want to be seen in GI too often, that just wouldn't be cool.

I can't believe that i'm the only one who will be at the parade from this site either. I suppose a lot of 'em will be finishin' their corn-picken this year. I think Husker Harvest Days will have to be renamed this year, because i' don't know that there will be much to harvest in September?

 

[Larry NCKS]

Yep! I thot more would go too. But with saturday's forecast it might be best to watch it on TV.

As to harvest days, I hear ya!

Little less than 3 hours til it starts now

i think they had more than they were expecting. and the crowd that came to watch was standing room only and i know some came but didn't stay because there was no room to sit.
took them a while to get enuf room to get them moving around the track but eventually they got 3-4 abreast moving along.
lots of fun with my Dad and my 2 boys. glad we made it.
