Record year at ninth annual tractor show
In their new home along M-211 North of Onaway Tip of the Mitt Antique Tractor Association show organizers reported overall attendance was up as they had a record year.
One?hundred and eighteen tractors were registered for the show. The show was kicked off by the tractor pull at 7 p.m. on Friday and 110 pulls were made.
More than six teams participated in the draft horse pulls Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening?s tractor safari was well received even though one tractor ran out of gas and had to be pushed out of the way.
Sunday brought gospel music and the first ever auction. Auction items came from community donations and all the profits will benefit the building fund. The auction was well attended and well received but results of the profits were not available at press time.
Association members received many compliments on their new facility, a place they can call home, and many realized all the hard work that has been done to improve the area.
With great weather and a great turnout on new facilities the event was a huge success and planning for the next show will begin soon.
