I would like to tell a little about our show, ‘The Holder
Tractor, Engine and Antique Show’, that we have annually in
June. Last year was our fifth show with over 75 exhibitors and 1200
in attendance.
We had on exhibit 114 tractors, numerous gas engines, 1 Case
scale steam engine with threshing machine, 3 Rumley Oil Pulls, 1
Case steam engine, 1 scale Rumley Oil Pull, 2 threshing machines, 1
calliope, 1 display of John Deere toy tractors, 1 display of John
Deere children’s riding tractors, antique machinery and antique
cars.
We also had 8 flea markets, music entertainment by a country
western band, movie of the 1930s shown by John Deere Company and a
spinning wheel demonstration.
Our show is sponsored by my wife and myself and our main object
is that everyone come and have a good time.
I am a great enthusiast of John Deere Tractors having a
collection of 51, all of which are in running condition. My
favorite models are the ‘D’ and ‘GP’. Some other
items that I have collected are: 1 Avery tractor, 1 ‘1929’
30-50 Rumley Oil Pull, 1 Kalamazoo Motor Car (railroad), 7 John
Deere children’s riding tractors which is 1 of every style made
so far, several gas engines, 1 threshing machine and antique
machinery.
We are now in the process of planning our Sixth show to be held
on June 11th & 12,1977 at our place at 1369 W. Grand River Rd.,
Owosso, Michigan.
