October 10 – Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Making has been POSTPONED

Field Day of the Past Update
We hope to see everyone at the 2015 Field Day of the Past this weekend!
Both the show organizers and property owner are very excited to have our club at the show and have reserved the premier show location for the club! We will be featured at the most popular area of the show and they reserved this spot for us to show together. Please be sure to let them know that you are with the club when you arrive so they can direct you to our show spot. Please be sure to thank the tractor show organizer, who goes by the name of Pope, for making this possible. He is a member of the Chesterfield antique tractor club and is interested in joining and participating in ours.
The owner of the property for this event, Mr. Pruett is so excited we are coming that it is rumored he will invite us to take a private tour of his extensive and rare collection of IHs. I hear he has some very rare IH orchard tractors as well as some implements and IH trucks. In addition, Mr. Pruett decided to include many of his IHs in the show. He will be setup right beside us so there should be plenty of IHs to enjoy!
Hope to see you all out there!
