2009 Show News and Talk

Half Century Of Progress IV - August 27-30, 2009

The Half Century Of Progress organizing committee has been meeting and making a lot of progress in planning the 2009 event. I have heard there are some big plans in the work, but all details are closely guarded at this time.

As in past events, the main focus of the event is to get the old equipment out in the field and working as it was intended, so expect plenty of action in the fields. In each of the past shows, the variety and scope of equipment has increased, so expect even bigger things this time.

Secondary Events
The previously announced "Legends Of Time" John Deere feature will be one of the secondary events at the show.

There is nothing official, but word is going around that Ford tractor collectors are working on plans to have a big gathering at the show as well.
