Show time is getting closer, and some equipment has already started arriving at the site! This promises to be a big show, the John Deere committee is estimating turnout could top 700 pieces of the famous green and yellow equipment.
Many thanks to the volunteers who have been working hard on the big 6 cylinder Chicago engine in the old bus garage, with their efforts, the engine may be running by show time this year. This big engine came from an oil pipleine pumping station in Missouri and has been several years in the restoration process. The natural gas burning engine will be a great addition to the show. This actually one of two identical engines the club acquired several years ago, both of them were removed from service just prior to the club acquiring them.
There have been some changes in the layout of the grounds this year, with a new camping area established south of Buck Creek, and some minor changes in the featured equipment area.
