Have you considered sponsoring the 2016 Gera Old Tractor Days?

Club members are out and about in the community seeking community support for this event.  In an effort to keep admissions costs low for all in the community, we are offering attractive partnerships for local businesses.  You can have the opportunity to promote your products and services to our audience at this event and through our website with your financial support of our tractor pulls.  This event is very well attended by our community and we have many sponsorship opportunities available.

Feel free to email webmaster @ geraoldtractordays.com and we will put a club member in touch with you to work out the details of your sponsorship. In addition to signs and banners, we also have PA announcements throughout both days of the show.  Sponsors also can set up booths and/or distribute literature at the show. You will also be provided with free admission tickets and our club calendar.  This is a great opportunity for local businesses to connect with the community members. Let us help put together and advertising package that will work for your business.

Remember ~ Advertising doesn’t cost, it pays!

Thank you again to our generous 2015 Sponsors!

We want all of our guests, members, sponsors, and friends know about a change in our admission prices for 2016. After great deliberation, we have raised the rate for admission for the 2016 show. Admission fees are as follows:

$5.00 per person on Saturday.

$8 per person on Sunday.

$10 for a 2 day pass allowing admission both days of the show.

Children 15 & under are free.

Parking remains free.

We would like to be transparent about why we’ve come to this decision. In 2015, the show operated at a loss of close to $2500 after all of our vendors were paid, supplies were purchased, puller prize money awarded, and the club’s financial commitments were met.  Our great sponsors helped to keep the show from going too far underwater, but we were forced to pull funds from our very limited General Fund to contribute to the show.  We are actively seeking new sponsors and new sponsorship opportunities for individual community members. If you are interested in donating to the show, being a business sponsor, or being a community member contributor, please contact us.

We would love your feedback on the show or to hear about ideas that you might have to help the club financially. Please feel free to join us at an upcoming meeting or to send us an email.
