We had a wonderful weekend at Madison, SD. Attendance exceeded our expectations and it was amazing to see a parade of 106 Cockshutts. They have a separate parade for their featured tractor. Irv Buttray, President of the ICCI said one man told him he had counted 140 Cockshutts. When another man heard him say that he asked if he counted the four "over there", and he said no. Then he asked if he had included the two "down there" and he said no -- so that makes 146. It was a sea of Red and Yellow - a sight to behold. There were people from all over - Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Alberta, South Carolina, Seattle, Wa, Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, IL, IA -- and on and on. We have a US/Canadian map with markers indicating where everyone came from.
Bill and Helen Cockshutt were at the show on Saturday and attended the banquet that evening.
Many thanks were given to the workers that made this event happen. The biggest THANK YOU though goes to you, the people who attended the show. Without YOU, there would be no show, so THANK YOU and we hope to see you at our next meeting, October 30, 11:00 a.m. at Charlie's Cafe in Freeport, MN.
Oh, by the way - Deb took many pictures of the parade and has made them into a slide show which she will posting on this site this week. Hope you enjoy it.
