Looking for People to Sign Up for Tractor Runs

April 28, 2014 by Gera Old Tractor Days

Did you participate in the tractor runs last year at the Gera Old Tractor Days?

What are tractor runs you might ask?  Basically, this is an opportunity to showcase our antique tractors.  Our crowd loves to hear these tractors run, watch them move, and smell the fuel in the air.  The tractor show should be an immersion for all the senses and seeing the tractors parked and lined up doesn’t do these great machines justice. So, we take the opportunity of the lulls in the tractor pulls to have our antiques drive down the lane between the crowd and the pulling track while our announcer gives the crowd some of the history behind the tractor.

The crowd gets to see your tractor drive, hear it’s engine, and also learn some interesting facts (supplied by you). Afterwards, our drivers often hang around the end of the lane to field any questions from people. Getting involved with this is easy. When you drop off your tractor, make sure to register!  At registration, they will ask you if you are interested and there is a form to fill out and choose which times you want to make your run or runs. 

We can’t wait to see you at the show and are looking forward to educating our visitors again this year during the tractor runs!

The Gera Old Tractor Club has an exciting opportunity to showcase your business in our local community. Our annual tractor show draws large crowds of spectators for tractor pulls that take place on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the show starts with antique pulls followed by garden tractor pulls. On Sunday, the show features bar stool racers followed by very exciting Modified and Super Modified tractor pulls in addition to truck pulls. The Gera Old Tractor Club works with a number of pulling organizations across the state to bring this exciting event to our local community. The Thumb Tractor Pulling Association (www.ttpa.org) is the group that we bring in on Sunday. These pulls involve a number of classes that pay out to the top 4 – 10 places. There is a considerable expense to the club to bring in this level of tractor pull. The community has loved this event for the last 14 years and we have been blessed enough to continue to grow and thrive with the support of businesses like yours. We would ask that you help us by sponsoring our tractor pulls at any donation level.

For your sponsorship, you can expect the following:

1) You can hang any signs or other advertising on our show grounds during the course of the event (including Friday during the auction).

2) You can pass out any promotional materials during the show, or our club will distribute any brochures or pamphlets you may have to our guests.

3) Would you be interested in a display booth on our grounds? We can accommodate you for no charge, but please let us know how much space you require.

4) We will advertise your business on our club website (www.geraoldtractordays.org). In addition, if you would like to write articles about your products or services to post on our website, we would gladly accept them throughout the year. Please email them to: webmaster@geraoldtractordays.org

5) We will post your name at the showgrounds on our “Thank You” Sign Board.

6) We will post our 2014 sponsors’ names on next’ year’s calendar.

7) We will provide 2 of our calendars to you for your use or distribution to your customers. (Retail Value $8)

8) We would gladly provide you with 2 free passes for our show on Saturday & Sunday.

Thank YOU for your sponsorship. We appreciate and value our sponsors. Without you, this fun community event would not be possible. On behalf of our members and the many guests at our show, we thank you for your support.
