Kelly 1,029 #1 Posted July 8, 2013 MODS I know this is not the place for this but I figure it will get the most traffic here, move if you need to, Thanks I have been slacking this year, my Daughter graduated high school, so we had a open house to do, she is going off to collage in a few weeks so we are planning for that, plus personal family stuff has came up, I have not been on RS or many of the other sites much at all in the past few months, so I’m WAY WAY behind on promoting and updating the MI WH show. I’ll post more over the next few days, I’m on vac. This week and hope to catch up on many things I have put off or just plan forgot about with everything going on. The Great lakes Wheel Horse show is Aug. 2,3 and 4th in Charlotte MI 48813 at the eaton county fair grounds, it is held in conjunction with the Big and little tractors show, There will be tractor games, kiddie tractor pedal pulls, full size tractor pulls, garden tractor pulls and other stuff to watch and do, we have food on site, camping is available on the grounds in a nice wooded camp grounds with all hook ups, restrooms and showers also, we are close to down town, with restaurants, and many stores for most of your needs, there are a few hotels very close by, there is road construction near the show but if you follow the detour signs it is easy to get around, I’m hoping to have something set up for a raffle prize very soon, not sure what yet ?? I’ll update more soon, and questions please ask, I’ll try to keep on top of this as much as I can. Hope to see you all here. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 501 #5 Posted July 8, 2013 Awesome news Kelly. I was starting to worry knowing some of the insurance issues that the fairgrounds proposed last year. Family is first so I can understand. I am trying to wrap up my Lawn Ranger project for the show, right now it is a pile of half painted parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be setting up the show tomorrow, so for the next few days I will not be on the putor much, got 4 loads of tractors hauled today so they are all there that will be shown this year, so glad the C-195 diesel is running and driving, I hope you all can make it, the weather is going to be great, lots to see. Workers cleaned and ready This is the lot that will be at the show this weekend, I wanted a few more to go but they didn't want to go I guess 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
