2nd Annual Great Lakes Tractor Show By HorseFixer

[HorseFixer 2,012]

First off I would like to thank Kelly and his lovely Wife & Family for the hard work they put into this show! Working on events my

wife and I have done, along with fraternal organizations I have been involved with over the years I can appreciate this and what

it takes. Kelly hats off to you my friend 5 STARS *****

The weather was wonderful as was the facilities and camping! The prices for camping $15.00 per night & logistics of this show

are outstanding. You can come early as MJ and I did (we arrived Thursday evening) and setup camp so that takes a strain off

being overly busy the day of the show and allows time for relaxing!! The fair grounds are clean and spacious, plenty of rest

rooms and there is a beautiful park right next door with bike trails (We found this out Sunday) as we spent the night after

everyone left Sunday and we rode our bikes for 6 miles Sunday evening. There are plenty of stores nearby in case you need

something and there is great concessions at the show with great food and refreshments.

We had a great time and we even brought our Schwinn bikes on this trip, we have two matching beach cuisers MJ's is shown below.

Well as some of you may recall my Pal JerryW commented on his Hula Gal he had is his snow machine...... Well I sent her a couple

E-Mails and I guess what happened was she crawled in Jerrys Suit Case and hitched a ride to Michigan where she will be kept nice

and warm in my heated cab! Jerry thanks for giving her the ride!

Stevasorus & JoeBob

Steve what can I say? As allways it was great seeing and spending time with you again! All I can say you may be a big guy, but your heart is even

bigger!!!! This hobby needs moe genuine people like you! It did me and MJ's heart good to see you win that tractor! You are pobably one

of the main reasons we attended!! JoeBob it was geat meeting you as well! Take care of my pal!

Brian Marion ~ buckrancher

Brians Stainless Steel RJ-58 tractor is nothing that outstanding. Being a welder and fabicator I can only say that there is much more than meets

the eYe here. I was able to look at this tractor much more closely than I had in P.A. and was totally astounded by the caftmanship involved. Hats

off to you my friend MJ & I consider ourself's not only fotunate to know you, but even more fortunate to have you and Jo as our friends!
