Canopy for 2015 RPRU Tractor Exhibit.

I plan on taking my newly restored Farmall 240 to the RPRU next summer in Sedalia and wife says I need to start looking for a shade and rain canopy to have near the tractor. Looking for something that will stand up to the sun and rain or wind that is likely to blow though the fairgrounds while attending the RPRU. Something with an IH theme or colors would be preferred over a plain "blue tarp" one from Lowes or other normal source. I will be a first time show exhibitor so this is something new for me without any prior experience to draw upon.
I have looked through my recent issues of Red Power Magazine and Harvester Highlights without seeing anything. Ideas and/or suggestions of where to obtain something suitable and well designed will be most appreciated, Hal.
 

I would just find an event equipment rental place and rent one. those commercial tents are way better then you can get from lowes and you won't have to carry it everywhere if you rent near the venue. Also check if the venue has something you could rent from them, sometimes they do.
 
The most popular ones you see at shows are a conduit frame with special fittings at the corners & apex to use lengths of metal conduit purchased locally.
The best way to make one stable is to fabricate post weights of large coffee cans filled with concrete, & tying them down on the corners with stakes & ropes.
Search for Shade King in Thorntown Texas, their website has examples & prices. There are many others.
These are not high wind proof, but my experience has been anything less than 35 mph you will be fine, they keep the rain off as well.
You can decorate the sides or roof with however you choose yourself with a bit of imagination.
 
Just google pop up canopy. There are many out there to buy.

Some even do custom colors and wording.

Here is one to check out.
