If you only go to one tractor show this summer put June 28th,
29th and 30th on your calendar. These are the dates of the
Kalamazoo Valley Antique Engine and Machinery Clubs Annual
Show and Exhibition. It promises to be one of the most
outstanding shows that you will ever see of this type. The place
that this show is held at is called Gilmore Car Museum. It is
considered one of the top five car museums in the United States.
It is located about twenty miles northeast of Kalamazoo in the
little town called Hickory Corners. It's setting is out in the
country on ninety acres of manicured lawns in a country club
setting with the beautiful restored barns, white fences in rolling
hills that surround the grounds. There is a fifty's diner and a
restored gas station and the restored barns store several
hundred of the Concours-de-elegance of automobiles, likes you
have never seen before.
John Deere is the featured equipment this year but all makes are
welcome. There are several hundred tractors expected along with
many pieces of equipment from all over the midwest and many
vendors. I know people who are working behind the scenes and
they are putting their heart and soul into this show. I promise
that you will not be disappointed.
Also if you have not been to Michigan take time to make this a
destination and drive up along the shore of Lake Michigan and
visit the quaint little towns. Towns like Manistee, Frankfort,
Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinac Island to name
just a few. There's a lot of boating, golf, fishing, festivals, and art
shows going on not to mention all the good local food.
