Hi Gene,Is this a show and swap meet?Or is it just the swapmeet? Thanks,Jake

Jake it is both. Good place to meet other tractor enthusiasts and also buy and sell parts.

Same as the spring swap meet but they want people to bring things to show for this one as well.

It's very possible you'll find what you want there... If not it's only thirty miles away and you'll meet a lot of new nice tractor collectors... Make the short trip and have a good time!!!

I started out with a partial truck load of stuff to bring to Mentone, now I've got a full truck load and most of an 18 foot trailer full. By the time next weekend rolls around I may have the whole trailer full. I'll be there Saturday from 8:00 AM until ?.

[Gene_S 93]

Can't wait to see all the goods Jim!!! Much red stuff???

[Jim_M 178]

Most of it is red.

[Jim_M 178]

I don't think so John, they'll just have to come to Mentone to see if there's anything they need.

Beautiful weather, great deals and nice people, couldn't ask for anything more.

[fabricator2009 48]

Just unloaded the last off of the trailer, will unload the truck tomorrow. Need a few hours to catch my breath. Needless to say it was a great day. Lots of tractors and parts as far as the eye could see, and many, many more friends. The weather was fantastic. Couldn't ask for better. I would like to thank everyone who came and supported us in this. And Gene and Sara, Can't do it without them. Already looking forward to next year. Thanks again, Ken.

[Martin 2,130]

really wanted to be there today. other priorities, stuff to do, plus the 3 hour trip stopped all that. would love to see some pics of the day from some members who were there.

[Rollerman 290]

Ken, Gene, Sara, Richard.....really nice show & appreciate your efforts!

Got a few pics.

Really liked the Case T-90 (like to see a "Horse" version)

I'm kinda bad at takeing show pics, to much to look at & friends to visit with.

[Gene_S 93]

First off glad we could help with the show Ken and we're looking foward to next year!!!

We also had a raffle this year for quite a few items and it was a big hit!!!

As for the show it was a great time. We had right at 106 registered tractors there of all colors. We also had a lot of parts there too. I don't know how many times I seen a person with a tractor part go walking by and I asked where was that? Of course I missed out on a lot of deals.

I got a few pictures of the show and some may be duplicates of Stephens so please overlook that.

First pictures are the creators of the Mentone Show.
