Seems as though every time I get the opportunity to make OPOP I just have more and more fun. This show was really the highlight of my season and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, mainly due to the hospitality and welcome of Dale, Debi, and his family. I arrived with an empty pickup and left looking like Sanford and Sons. Met new friends and renewed acquaintances with many others from previous shows. This years trip will be even better, as I have to stop by Tracy Martins on the way home to drop off a couple goodies I picked up for him. Wait until he finds out how much work it will take to dig out his parts from amongst all the rest. LOL
Again, "Thank You" just isn't enough to reflect the real joy to be found at Dales. In addition, he warmly welcomes anyone who stops by at anytime during the year and truely makes you feel as though you are a valued friend and visitor. I really felt the food was much better this year as well. Hope many of you can attend next year. Let us know the dates as soon as you get them Dale. God Bless.

Couldn't agree more with what Bob has already posted. Dale, Debi, and the family really go the extra effort to put this show together every year and make certain that everyone feels welcome. It's no easy or cheap underaking and to invite everyone to their home like they do really says a lot about what fine folks they are. We're looking forward to next year's show already, gotta get my vacation request in now so I'm sure to get it.

yes thanks Dale. Enjoyed the show.
Saw a CA from Hillsboro, Ohio as I was leaving. My wife's family is from there, if it is someone on the forum please drop me a note.
Many nice tractors all around. A saw a WD45 go by that was just the color I love, near perfect condition but not too shiny.

Rick, the CA you're talking about belongs to Dean Green from Hillsboro. Not sure but I don't think he posts on the forum. He has been to the show the last couple of years. Sorry but I don't have any contact info on him but I think he's planning on coming to a local show here in a couple weeks.

You all are welcome.
It is a pleasure for us to have the show each year. It is people like you that make it worth while. Everyone was so willing to help when we needed it.
EVEN Debi is already talking about next years show!!!!
Thanks to everyone for coming,
Dale

I want to add my thanks to the Haymakers and to everyone else that made the show work. I really enjoy the Forum meet and greet and am often surprised by who the face is behind the name.
Sorry I had to leave a little early on Saturday, but a couple of tired little girls and grandma had about worn themselves out.

This is the high of my summer also, I give up 4 days vacation and pass up 3 nice events close to home to enjoy sweating, changing several shirts a day to see orange everywhere!!! I feel lucky to feel such a part of the "Orange" family in the short 3 years I've known everyone.
thanks for everything, Larry and Rebecca

We also had a great time at the show. Thank you Dale and family! My dad came up from Houston TX to attend the show with me. Brought back a lot of memories for him, heard a lot of stories about my grand dad as well. It was the highlight of our summer. Enjoyed meeting the forum members as well.
Looking forward to 2011!

Another great show. I had so much fun that after I got all the items delivered and pick up, I forgot to pick up the parts I bought from Dale. Lots of tractors, implements, parts, etc. The field demonstrations were fun to watch and I had a bird's eye view from my parts spot. I can't even imagine how much work that has to be to put on such a nice show. The band was great, I listened to them while i changed wheels on the D15 I hauled up there. All in all, just a fun two days. Thanks again. Michael

I also would like to Thank Dale and his family for all their efforts to make this show happen.I could not imagine the amount of time spent to make every thing come together.Even with all the work,weather,spectators,jokers etc.etc, Dale always makes time to talk with everyone and make them feel welcome.
Not the biggest but the best A/C show you will ever go to.
Found some parts I have been looking for.I like the auction hope it can become a regular feature.Maybe we can do a tractor drive next year.
Dale,If there is anything I can do to help all you have to do is ask.
