I was thinking those horse shoes should be turned up, so his luck don't run out... At least that's what I"ve always heard...maybe that's only if you hang them over a door, or on the side of a barn/ building. Never-the-less...great job on the cart/ carriage ! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill in VA 1,452 #132 Posted June 27, 2021 Linda it was really great to see you and Craig at the 23rd Annual Wheel Horse Show ! You with your picture taking ability and Jo managing the flow of the many tractors were a GREAT HELP with the parade ....... and Craig too as he did bring me a bottle of much needed water. ,The parade and show were unbelievable as we broke the record for the longest tractor parade ever at the show , a total of 3 hours long !!! And I ended up drinking 5 bottles of water just to stay hydrated ! As I told many of you who were at the show ....... I was just not sure how many people would attend due to the state of the world but as I turned into the South Mountain Fairgrounds on Thursday morning and saw 5 full lanes of vehicles loaded down with Wheel Horses I knew America was not going to give up our fun ! I do apologize about the "no music" Cruise Night ...... this was my fault as I left the CD at home . It amazed me though that everybody went cruising any way after the ice cream social and had loads of fun. I had to get my timing right to pull into the lines of Wheel Horses during the cruise so my son Kaeden on his very first Wheel Horse and I could cruise side by side together ! Every year the Wheel Horse tractors that show up are amazing and this year was no exception , several D series tractors with loader buckets showed up and how about the D-250 with the factory ROP (roll over protection i.e.a roll bar) .? Eston and his miniature Wheel Horse tractor models almost stopped me from being able to talk ..... except to say I WANT ONE ! A lot of buyers wanted a special manufacturing number on the box for the ones they purchased ..... me I had Eston autograph mine to me ! It was fun trying to talk Eston and Kelly into putting of their tiny Senior models in the parade and she did it ! And as you always hear say " only at the Wheel Horse Show" !

Also thanks to him for donating his trademarked and autographed shirt for the raffle! Check out his cool pinstriping on his truck! Take care, Have a Happy Fourth of July and hope to see you all next year! Uh ... oh yeah .... about the my white tractor pullin' shirt , wanting to donate some thing to the raffle prizes at the Wheel Horse Show I just could not figure out what to give. Getting clothes packed at my house before the show that white shirt has always come to Annual Wheel Horse Show and many other tractor shows and pulls around the country. It just gets packed to take along ! During Saturdays part of the show I thought about that white shirt and what it meant to me and it meant a lot. Its part of my signature , and I have a hard time letting go of things but if that shirt meant so much to me maybe just maybe it would mean something to some one else. Many years ago when there was just the Yahoo Wheel Horse page on the internet I made a bet that if the readers brought 600 Wheel Horses to the show that I would pull one of my Wheel Horse tractors with a chain the length of the parade route ! Welllllll there was way over 600 Wheel Horses that year and at the end of the parade I took a dirty chain draped it over my shoulder and pulled one of my Wheel Horses through the parade ! Now keep in mind that many were expecting me to pull a big D or C series but ole Wild Bill ain't dumb , I pulled my 1967 Lawn Ranger with the smallest and cutest little red haired girl holding the steering wheel. When that shirt was made you had to go to a special place to get embroidery work done not like today where you get clothes embroidered on line and shipped to your house. Now I am not sure what is going to happen with that white shirt BUT there was a group who not say any thing about it when I inquired about it ........ folks sumtin's gonna happen next year at the 24th Annual Wheel Horse Show !!!!

Tractorhead 9,064 #141 Posted June 28, 2021 Again a huge Thanks to all involved and backgrounders, that you keep this History of the Big Show going on. My special thanks goes also to Mrs. Rules, her Pictures and descriptions enforces my need a little more, to be next year urgently live at the Big Show. Also to Mr. Wild Bill, who appears for me he is „the institution“ of the Big Show Tractorparade. All the Picts it give me the impression, it is a definitely a big need to celebrate this event Live in person once at least. Sadly i couldn‘t make it to this year’s Big Show because of several Reasons - but i have it in my Schedule fixed for next year. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
