Talk to anyone there and you risk becoming friends..... I can see this just by reading threads on this site! Sounds an awful lot like the Coleman lantern collectors I am quite heavily involved with, and that alone is half the reason I became heavily involved. We say "it starts about lanterns and ends about friends." Theres actually a big annual collectors event in Gettysburg two weeks after the big show. This COULD pose an issue, but then again it wouldnt be the first time I made a 16 hour round trip weekend "hell run". Was going through some pics and youtube videos last night, looks like a huge show. Was also happy to see plenty of 'black mask' horses there, so the ol 520 wouldnt be a turd in the punch bowl. Also noticed a LOT of stuff for sale. I better start scrounging the couch cushions now in preparation 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 3,115 #30 Posted January 29, 2020 Last year since I only live about an hour and half away I just came down with the tractors for the day on Friday.........that was dumb and my wife let me know it too . So this year I'm trying a new hotel in Gettysburg right beside the National Cemetery and The Pike restaurant who has a great wing night on Thursday night! Looking forward to June! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, if it's a WH tractor, it's good. Sure, there are plenty of beautiful trailer queens on display and done by some real craftsman, but the majority there will be workers from the ugly rust buckets to the 520s. There's never any official judging of any tractors which the WHCC specifically doesn't do so everyone can feel comfortable bringing ANY WH tractor, it's great idea. Definitely bring something to ride if you can because the more the merrier but even if you can't, I guarantee without a doubt, someone will loan a tractor if you want to ride. My father always has 3 or 4 and he can't ride'm all at once! 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My father always has 3 or 4 and he can't ride'm all at once! Couldnt agree more. We all come from different tastes, abilities, free time and wallet size, including the judges. As far as bringing something to ride, I wouldnt attend without one haha. The ol 520 I just partially restored/custom'd has been put back to work, but it'd certainly turn some heads, and all she needs to be ready would be a good bath. The real gem id like to have ready will be picked up hopefully this weekend- a 654 with a lot of patina, and no engine. That will be a pulley swapped play toy, and I have a few powerplants sitting around, just gotta decide which one its gonna get. Will quit here or my 'squirrel' A.D.D. will take this thread right off topic haha. Really hope to make this show!!

Definitely would bring some along for the ride, that actually might go over pretty well- they seem to bring back a lot of memories when folks see them. PS- this pic is from about a year ago, at the time this was about half the collection. I have since downsized but still have 100 or so, most in running order. I buy enough camp fuel to be on the federal watch list, no doubt This is also what my girlfriend fears with this new Wheel Horse addiction hahaha....... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greentored 3,220 #50 Posted February 19, 2020 Alright fellas, Im ready to book a campsite, but before I do, there is a very serious question I must ask: What if there happened to be cold beverages in my cooler, of the hops and barley variety? Is this allowed? Is it frowned upon? Do I need it? No. Do I enjoy a couple while camping? Absolutely 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
