Tired Iron of the Ozarks newsletter

We have got the fall show in the books and it was a light turnout on Friday

but , Saturday was good attendance and Sunday we had church service and

light attendance Sunday for the show. We had Tractor games two different times

during the show. One was putting a chain in a box and the other you drove by

and threw a ball in a bucket. Thank you to everyone who helped with the show

whether it was before, during or after. You help is appreciated. It takes everyone

to make the show work.

The pies were a real hit for everyone who had pie and the food was good

as well. It seemed everyone had a good time at the show.

I enjoy seeing all the tractors and the blacksmith shop is one of my

favorite things at the show. Also the car show even thought we only had seven

cars it was good few we can work on getting more next spring. There was also a

car show in Decatur as well so we had competition from that car show.

We had a silent auction at our show and brought in funds for the club and

we had several items up for bid in the auction.

We will be having out election of officers and potluck in October and I

hope everyone can attend to vote. Phil is not running for vice President and Pat

is not running for Treasurer we need to replace both of those people. Phil and

Peggy moved to Guthrie Ok is the reason he is not running VP.

The dinner for the potluck is at 6pm on Tuesday the 15 th of October

at the clubhouse.

I went to another show and here is what I observed

They had eight or ten Tractors and no parade of power or blacksmithing

like we do. They used to have tractor pulls but didn’t see any evidence of that this

show.

Although with a lot of tractor clubs the members have passed away or are in bad

health and cannot help anymore with the show. I realize this but it seems that our

members help more and are more eager to participate that those were.

I hope we can get some younger people to join and carry on the club in the future.

I want to thank Pat Morrison for her work as Treasurer all the years she

was in Tresurer.

Also a thank you to Phil Pletcher for being VP and helping when he could.
