Join us on Sunday

We are here at the showgrounds, corner of M-46 & M-83, come on over and join us!  Weather is cooler than yesterday, lots of antique tractors on display.  Horse driven hayrides, a corn husking demo later today, and tractor pulls starting at 1pm!  So much excitement for a Sunday!  Also, if you want to put your tractor on the dyno, see one of the Gera Old Tractor club members at the gate, they will direct you to the place!  Look forward to seeing you here!

 

Also, stay tuned here for video and photos from the entire weekend of fun!

Saturday Tractor Pulls

We had such a great show today!  We are looking for more good times tomorrow!  Here’s some photos from the Saturday Tractor Pulls.  We’ll post video soon (once we get somewhere with a little faster Internet Connection!). These pictures are all from the evening modified pull.   We have lots of photos as well from the antique pulls earlier in the day.  Everyone at the Gera Old Tractor Days wants to say a big thank you to Gus Dembowski for organizing the pulls, our sponsors (to be listed individually later) who made this possible, and our visitors for coming out to support the club and enjoy the day with us.
