Ok, first, don't crucify me for this. I posted the pictures on Red Power because it is easy, here's a link; https://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/topic/153930-i-took-a-lot-of-pictures-today/" rel="nofollow - https://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/topic/153930-i-took-a-lot-of-pictures-today/

I and the Wide-Front 45 attended Friday and Saturday, what a show! Had a fantastic time and even got to plow a bit. Ran into a lot of the Orange crowd that I only seem to see at events like this. Got to know some new friends too. The 45 got some good reaction both plowing and sitting. Someday maybe it will get a real paint job? Mike Cooper badgered me about that both days, all in good fun.

Edit; Can't believe I forgot this! I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Widland family. Every one of them worked with a passion at this show. Justin told me Charlie had been moving tractors/stuff since about July 10! Their open-house is in two weeks, no rest for the weary as they say.

The show was amazing! I think they said there were 384 allis pieces of equipment! And there had to be well over 600 total pieces! An amazing show. The Widlund family spent a ton of time putting together the AC portion and they took the time to thank everyone! A great show! Thanks

I was told Sunday morning that there 354 registered tractors. That did not include lawn and garden nor the implements. It was a great turnout!

Did anyone get a final count on how many WD 45's showed up? I know we were into the 90's. Guess I could ask Charlie at the upcoming open-house.

The official count was 92. Charlie said a couple more came in after he was given that number.

It will be a good topic for discussion when chatting with him and Justin. That's just over a week away now. Hope those guys get some rest!

Thanks for the kind words. What really makes the show is the dedication of the enthusiast that bring the tractors, equipment, and memorabilia from many miles away to build such a great display. A-C collectors are a great bunch of people!

Yes, our display at the farm is Aug 24th-27th. 8am to 6pm. Located about 6 miles north of Manson, IA. There is no admission so come enjoy if you do not already have a show on your calendar!

I would like to add my thanks to the Widlund Family as well as all other volunteers involved to make it a great show. I know it got a little congested out in the field, but from what I could see everyone got a chnce to play. If that show was closer would probably go every year, even it it wasn't featuring AC.
