Lots Pictures Goessel,Kansas Show August 5th

I got up early Saturday and made the 210 mile drive to Goessel,Kansas for the tractor show...I made it there at 9:15 just before the huge parade on Main street..I hit rain at Bronson,KS and drove in a much needed rain for 100 miles..Its the first picture...There was a large crowd for the parade and it was unusually cool with people having blankets and jackets.....All the kids had their buckets ready to gather the candy that was thrown to them....Goessel badly needs a rain but earlier that morning it had built up just east of them....The weather was fantastic all day for the show....Some years its over 100 degrees...They did get a very welcome 1" of rain Saturday evening....

The next to the last picture is my neighbor Robert Boyle on his little John deere in the parade....I brought Robert to the 2014 show and he's been back ever since....His 2 brothers are riding on the back...They came 220 miles and absolutely love this show..Its a great show with much to see and lots of friendly people..I finally got to meet Brendon that posts on here...The 350 Farmall with the fast hitch disk is his....Next year they are featuring MM and I hope to take a tractor out there..I didnt put nearly enough pictures on here to do this show justice..

Great pics 1206swmo. Wish there were bigger & more shows close to me. Miss the midwest shows. RB

I left out the 30-60 Aultman Taylor on the saw mill so here it is..

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great show.

Wonderful pictures. is this show always around the same date every year?
Looks like quite a show might try and be there next year with an IHC PU or two.

Thanks for the pics! Looks like it was a great show.

Blane, what is the car in the picture just before the Reeves gas tractor?

Thats a 1915 Pierce Arrow with electric start owned by Dan C from Quinter,KS..

I think its always the first weekend in August.....The Wheat Heritage Museum is on the show grounds....
I didnt show any pictures from it.....Heres a link to the website..I'm sure that they would be glad to have
you..I have a couple of IH pickups..

Thanks for all the great pictures! Thanks for stopping by - it was good to finally meet you in person. The show was a huge success with a large crowd, thanks in part to the unseasonably cool weather. The rain held off during the day on Saturday but we did get a much-needed inch during the night. It made the grounds a bit muddy on Sunday but nothing that was a real problem.

As 1206 said, it is always the first full weekend in August. (Some years that means it starts on
Friday, July 31, since we don't count Friday as being part of the weekend.)

Great show and pics. We sure don't see that many prairie tractors here in MI and there were some really nice ones there. Thanks again.

Blane Thanks for the pictures. The Fowler crawler Field Marshall and the Cockshut 60 are part of my collection.
We had a very good show this year looking for a better one next year.Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks again look forward to meeting you next year. Jim

And theres a dozen more prairie tractors about 1/4th mile from the show grounds..

Brendon,it was nice meeting you..You guys have a great show..

That's the ABSOLUTELY best looking bunch of equipment/pictures ever!!! Top notch.

You always have such a good eye (and maybe camera?) for framing your photos for just the right look. That means alot and thanks for your postings.
