I agree with the two below. I just had my second tractor show this past Saturday. There was no judging. I had some prizes donated by the local Carquest store to give away so I had a little poker run.
Just be grateful that people are willing to come and bring their machines. See if you can get some working demonstrations. We had a dump hay rake in action, an old stationary baler, a cordwood saw, a wood splitter and a planer. Whenever those things were working, that's where the crowd was. Pretty, restored tractors all lined up are nice but the more action you can have the better. We also had a parade which was great fun and a couple of us had trailers to give kids rides around the field and the campground.
I was going to have a "slow" race but never got around to it. Also a barrel chase went by the wayside. Just not enough time in the day to do it all. All this with about 30 tractors plus old cars, implements, etc.
Oh yeah, we also had a band playing music at the end of the day. Old time stuff, of course.
Good luck. The more of these kinds of events we can get going, the better.
Where are you located?
