39th Annual Northwest Ohio Antique show

[buckeye 5]

Just wanted to throw this one out there. This is an annual antique tractor show/swap meet located in Findlay, Ohio. This year they will be hosting the Vintage Antique Garden Tractor Club of America. They have an annual show every year in different locations across the U.S. with this years show being held in Findlay. They had their show in Findlay in 2002 , and it drew in over 700 garden tractors! The bad part, It is being held Aug. 5-8. (same weekend as the Michigan show.) Regretfully, I will miss the MI. show, but this one is only 15 min. from my house. My dad and I will do our best to represent the Wheel horse, and I'm sure there will be a few more there that haven't migrated north for the weekend. All are welcome, and camping on site, lodging/food are nearby. Gates open at 9am on thurs. If your heading through town on the way to MI. you could have a chance to see ALOT of garden tractors. Really had my heart set on Kelly's show, but this is just to close to home.

couldn't say Steve, the gates open at 9am on thurs. I've been trying to get in touch with Greg Tallman, the Pres. of the vintage antique garden tractor club, but I'm sure he's pretty busy getting ready for it. I'll post as soon as I find something out. Hoping he will let the guys stay in a group.

The Findlay show was great. I went back in 02 when the Vintage club came last time and I think they had an even better turnout this time.
