In Reply to: Tractor Show...... posted by Sparktrician on December 04, 2010 at 19:58:11:
I am a director of a club which puts on a sizable 4 day show in SE Indiana, probably not too far from you. We struggled at first, but we seem to get by now. We were lucky enough to lock in the rental of the grounds we use for 5 years at a set amount--- which we paid up front. Hit up any company or organization--- for donations or other support--- which stands to benefit from your show--- grocery stores, implement dealers, fast food places near the show site, Ag tire dealers, the local Farm Bureau if you have one, the county ag agent, etc. Even if they just buy an ad in your show book. This includes the local chamber of commerce, the tourism board, etc. If nothing else, they might be able to advertise your show---- which in the end will help greatly. The appointed board that governs the grounds we rent for the show got some mighty big ideas about what they should charge for rent a couple of years ago, and we looked in to moving our show. When news of that got around town, the merchants and members of the Chamber of Commerce went to the county commissioners, who appoints the aforementioned governing board, and all at once we were offered a much better rental rate. Our show is one of the biggest events (draws more people) in our small town/county, and the merchants know it means business for them. 10 years ago, we had pre-announced "scrap days" where a couple of guys would go around to farms asking if they had any scrap iron to donate to help the club--- granted, this was before scrap jumped in price. We did pretty well on those drives. Email is open if you'd like to talk. Thanks!

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
