nylyon-(Admin) 7,300 #2 Posted September 22, 2009 Mike, what time are you going? Brittany has a football game which she's cheering for (Go Brewster Bruins!) at noon, so we could probably be there about 2ish with the kids. The whole gang going Mike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,403 #3 Posted September 22, 2009 My son should be back up on two feet so he might go and I might have a buddy from work (Cub-Cadet guy ) with me. Not sure when I'll be there yet as I'm waiting to hear from my buddy. I'll keep ya posted Karl. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,351 #8 Posted September 23, 2009 Mike, You better bring a trailer ....If you really do find something you love you can always take a ride to my house (35mins away) and pick mine up and use it. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,022 #9 Posted September 23, 2009 Steve, You have to fill out a registration form on the their website and bring it with you when you go if you are going to bring a tractor. I think I am going to bring my RJ. I gonna get there for the opening around 9:00 am or so on Friday and stay till around 3:00pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #10 Posted September 23, 2009 That's a great show. If anyone else is in the area and can go, definatly attend. There's some really cool old machinery there for great eye candy, and a guy ususally does sand casting right in front of you also. The food is good, and the atmosphere is fun. I'll be in Dover,DE watching a bunch of cars turning left. (Sprint cup). Otherwise I'd be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,300 #11 Posted September 23, 2009 Assuming the football game ends on-time, I can be there around 2 to 2:30. I won't be bringing anything except me and the kids. I'll be wearing my Wheel Horse Collectors Club hat, and one of my kids will likely still be in her cheerleading uniform so we should be easy to spot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,300 #16 Posted September 25, 2009 They changed the time of the game, looks like I will be there earlier, 12:30 or so! Still wearing the WH hat with 3 kids (one may be a cheerleader ) Or one of the kids migh be wearing the hat :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,351 #17 Posted September 25, 2009 Firemand and I went today first thing and it was a very good day. We rode our rj's around the entire event and that was pretty cool. A guy there had a (what looked like an early 55 RJ) but did not know what it really was. The Fireman and I tried to make him an offer but he simply said he is not sure what it is worth It was rough but complete less a broken part on the rear axle. Hopefully one of you guys and convince him it is only worth 200 to 300 .... Good luck- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 4 #18 Posted September 26, 2009 I'm going on Sat.... I'll be there around 10:00 or 11:00 myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,300 #19 Posted September 26, 2009 Just got back, my daughter forgot to bring the camera so there's no pictures. It was a really nice day and seeing all the old equipment is a site in itself. The kids enjoyed the blacksmith and seeing all the REALLY big engines and equipment. There were some Wheel Horses there, I think that my favorite was the D250 with the FEL on it. Jeff (Fireman) It was a pleasure to meet you, and I will see you on Tuesday (I'll send my number in a PM) Mike, always a pleasure and thank you for the shirt. On the ride home Brittany made a hat out of the cellophane wrapping, go figure. If anyone else was there, sorry I missed you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,403 #20 Posted September 26, 2009 It was good to see you again as well Karl. I finally met fireman (Jeff). Very nice guy. Also bumped into Bill and his wife when I first got there. Ive never actually seen Bill anywhere except my driveway, he seems to end up at my house buying all my "for sale" stuff . It was a perfect day to wander around the grounds with no rain, no humidity and it wasnt to hot. There werent to many Wheelhorses to look at but I like checkin out any brand tractor, machinery, equipment and of course rusty stuff! Didnt buy anything other than the sausage grinder and a water. Hopefully Sunday doesnt get rained out but its not lookin good. Mike........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
