We’ve missed some years because of having a lot of inventory left over and we’ve reused the same artwork a few times.  The great folks at Grasel Graphics in Frankenmuth have been helping us with our TShirt artwork for years.  We give them a hodgpodge of photos and somehow, they always turn it into something that people are proud to wear.  We simply cannot thank them enough. 

I thought that I’d share the photos for the last several years here on the website.  We have a brand new design (By Grasel Graphics) for 2012.  I’ll share this design on April 1st as the photo of the month, so please subscribe to receive an email when we update, or check back often. We are also going to be making announcements about our tractor show and auction. 

Enjoy!

 

Which is your favorite?  Sound off in the comments and remember to watch for the announcement of the 2012 Shirt Design on April 1st!

This event features hundreds of flea market vendors selling everything imaginable as well as demonstrations of various equipment including a Bay City Shovel and a sawmill. There are also many antique tractors on display and tons of activities and events for the whole family. And all of that is in addition to checking out the immensely cool Octagon Barn itself. If you haven’t been to the barn before, I highly recommend you make the trip.

If you are interested in all the happenings, please check out club member and webmaster, Elizabeth’s review of the 2010 Fall Family Days at the Octagon Barn complete with pictures and info.
