Lots of individuals selling used parts, tractors, T shirts hats ect? Food vendors? This show is WH only. There are other general shows that are much larger, but AFAIK it's the biggest WH specific show in the country. But it's not huge. Total attendance is probably on par with a large highschool football game. A decent number of vendors, and lots of guys with stuff for sale. For a lot of the guys here the show is just as much a social event as it is about the tractors. Last year I spent almost half the time I was at the show talking with @Tractorhead, @Blasterdad, and @Pullstart in the in-field. Although by the time I got to that spot Kevin was starting to get packed up for the trip home. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 13,340 #9 Posted April 10 Last year I started wearing a name tag with “@Handy Don” on it. It helped a lot when folks would see it and introduce themselves with their Red Square handle. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,093 #17 Posted April 15 It was a fantastic event i will never forget - and plan to do it again ! Meet a lot of Friendly Guy‘s -more than i can count here -i knew from the Forum, some friendships was taken and other more established. Food and drink is enough arround the Show, and there is even a Campground or if you booked early enough, there are few hotels surrounding. My biggest problem was there where a lot of possible Deals, but how to get all that stuff over the Big Pond. that is much more expensive than the Parts.... 😎 Two hearts beating in my chest for that deals.... little evil said: “yes do it“ but the little Angel reminds me on my restricted Weight i can carry with me. 200$ on top only for overweight for the Luggage was enough 😂😂😂 but it was worth each penny i spent for ❤️ I thinkered about buy me another Tracta, luckily my luggage not big enough. don‘t know if ya hear it allready but Wheelhorses tent to herd ! My personal experience about the Big Show is, it is definitely worth the Way 👍 even for me because i must fly over the Big Pond. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to be a bit reserved in person, but the interactions I've gotten to have with members from this site at the show are always great. I especially enjoyed getting to meet you and talk a while at last year's show. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
