MI Wheel horse show

Recommended Posts

Kelly

Ok now the big Wheel horse show in PA is over, and those that went and want more, or those that could not make the PA show, we have a all new WH show in MI. now this is the first year, and I'm hoping to get as many people to show up as I can, with as many tractors as you can haul.

This show is being held in conjuntion with the Charlotte Big and Little tractor days show in eaton county MI, I've been working with them for the past few months to set this up, and so far it's going pretty good, we will have a large area indoors to park the tractors, and it is right up front in the middle of the show, so we will not be stuck off in the back corner, not to be seen, we have room for as many tractors as you can bring no shortage on parking for them, the barn will be locked at night.

I'm planning give aways for the person that brings the most tractors and the one that travels the farthest, I have a couple of nice items for the prizes.

You are welcome to drive your tractors around the fair grounds, but please be mindfull of others and no speeding.

There is going to be mini mod tractor pulls, if you have a pulling tractor (does not have to be a WH) and I have set it up with the pullers so if you just want to play around and see what your tractor can do, you can, cost is $5 to cover ins. it's more to pull in the class pulls, more info can be had at www.eatoncountyfair.com wheelie bars are required, I'm trying to have a couple of sets made that will bolt on to use, for the fun pulls, not the class pulls.

Camping at the ground is $15 per night and electric and water is is included, nice clean showers and restrooms are right on the grounds, if set up at least one week ahead of time I can get WH owners all in one area, but must let me know, if camping is not your thing, there is a super 8 and holiday inn with in one mile of the fair grounds, and a Comfort inn 2 miles away.

We will be setting up fri. but the show does not start till sat. and goes till sun. they are asking if you can't stay till sun. that you don't remove your tractors till at least 6pm sat.

I'm planning a bon fire sat. evening at the fair grounds (weather permitting)

Also if your have parts or tractors to sell there will be a swapmeet, please get with me if you plan to set up, as they need to make space for all the vendors,

A craft show is also going on, and is free to set up, so if your wife has crafts to sell have her bring them, again please let me know so space is set up for them, we will need to know about how much room they will need.

Food will be sold at the event, and everything from McDonalds to nice sit down resturants are with in a mile or so.

There will be things going on all weekend to do and see, pedle pulls for kids, petting zoo, tractor train rides pulled by a WH, big tractor games, antique tractor pulls, farm stock pulls, shingle mill demo, homemade icecream made right in front of you, ect........

This is the first year for me trying to set up a WH show in the MI. area, I'd love this to be a hit, and I need your help, to make it happen, so please any questions email me, let me know if you plan to attend, I'd like to get a head count and tractor count going, lets see if we can get 200 WH's here at the First Great lakes Wheel horse show, and hope to have many more after.

Thanks Kelly Hollister
