Western Farm Show -- February 22-24, 2019
The Greater Kansas City Two-Cylinder Club had a booth at the Western Farm Show
on February 22-24. 2019. The plan was to set up on Tuesday, Feb. 19 but the
weather was questionable so the set up was done on Monday. The theme for the
display was “THANK A VETERAN” because three of our club members passed away
recently who had a military background. The three tractors for the display
included: JD 1958 520 (Paul Antes), JD 1957 BR (Bill Eagleburger), and JD 1938
B/w cultivator, (Ray Jones). The overall display also included toys (Richard
Thompson), two beautiful quilts and a plowing video. Many people visited the
show over a three day period and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The
club shared the booth this year with the National Agricultural Center and Hall
of Fame to help support them. They provided a pedal tractor in a free raffle
drawing. The lucky winner was a family in Dearborn, MO. Thanks to everyone who
managed the booth. A special thank you to Overland Tow (Joe and Billy) for
moving the Club tractor (JD 1938 w/cultivator) to the Western Farm Show and
afterwards to its new home at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame
in Bonner Springs, KS.
