Kelly 1,029 #1 Posted July 8, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #3 Posted July 22, 2013 Bumping this up again, less than 2 weeks till the show, Raffle prize is looking like a set of 23x8.5x12 Carlisle tru power ags, mounted on blasted and powder coated rims, AND as a bonus this time, I have a pair of 4x8 Deestone tri ribs and I will have 2 sets of rims powder coated so the winner can pic the style (model year) rims they need, I only have rims for the 65 up tractors, but there are 2 so I will have both, I should have new sealed wheel bearings to go with them, this will be about a $500 set of wheels and tires to be raffled off, more to come this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
