Bob, have you ever been to the show in Mentone? I haven't so I was wondering what makes one better than the other?  I have been to the WHCC show in Pa. and can testify that it is a great show.

Jim, if your question is to me, the answer is no, I've never been to Mentone. However, in the context of Wheel Horse shows, my opinion is that an "all Wheel Horse" show is naturally a better choice for someone looking to see Wheel Horse tractors, find parts, and meet the guys from this forum.

Bob...Spring Mentone they moved due to trying to get better weather as it seemed to be always cold and rainy . Mentone was basically just a swap meet (no showing tractors) with a bunch of  :wh:Horse-A-Holics , but this year they're combining it with some other festival and I think it's a bring what you got for show and swap  :confusion-shrug: . So this is all new .

 

I can tell you I made the pilgrimage to P.A. last year . Do yourself a favor and show up on Thursday morning when everyone is setting up , because by noon Saturday the show grounds are all cleared out . Thursday and Friday is :wh:Wheel Horse heaven and it won't disappointed :woohoo: !!!

Because I had had spinal fusion surgery 7 months earlier, I stayed at the Hampton Inn Gettysburg last year, which is only about 15 minutes away. Past years I have camped on site, and plan to do so again this year.

I would like to camp also but I don't think my son's camper will be ready so it's a hotel for me. I just wanted to get a idea of where everyone stays when they go.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And that picture says it all. I think they are happy whatever there looking at. Steve reminds me of uncle Si from duck dynasty with that cup.
