On August 20-23, the Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association will be presenting its 24th annual show from the clubs showgrounds in Oakley, Michigan. This year the show will host the 9th Annual Red Power Round-Up and the 5th annual Michigan IH show. It will feature collectors from the U.S. and Canada showcasing Tractors, Trucks, Equipment, or anything else made by International Harvester. The show, which aims to preserve farming methods and practices of the past, is the largest show of its kind in Michigan. Also, being a "working" show, you won't see tractors & equipement just sitting around. Activities include: Tractor Pulls (Deadweight/Percentage & Transfer Sled), Parades, Tractor Slow Races, Threshing, Baling, Plowing, Rock Crushing, Saw Milling, Shingle Milling, Veneer Milling, and Blacksmithing. The show also features Steam Engines, Large Stationary Engines, Small Gas Engines, Tractor Drawn People Movers, Art's and Crafts, Flea Markets, a Petting Zoo, Kiddie Pedal Pull, Garden Tractor Pull, and a live country western band playing every night.
As soon as I get the MMOGTA Show website finished I will post the address. Until then, just e-mail me if you have any questions or want any further information.
