Badger Steam and Gas Show in 2011?

[400brian]

The 47th annual Steam and Gas Show is coming up in August. This show is almost as old as I am.
Here's their website: http://www.badgersteamandgas.com/index.html

A semi-retired Uncle is a mostly Deere tractor collector, and an active member of the club. The 2011 show will feature Deere as the spotlighted make ( that's correct, a year from now ). The Uncle has been on me to bring sleds to this Deere featured show for two years already. He was asking me about it today, wondering how many sleds I could arrange to attend. So I told him that the first thing I had to have was cover, preferably I wanted the sled display to be in the exhibition building. He said I would probably have to be satisfied with a tent, because the building looked like it was going to be full of memorabilia and small items that had to be inside.

So OK, I guess I can live with that. If I could get my '72 together, I could personally put together a small display of the Kioritz powered sleds. "72 400, '74 JDX8, 340/S, Cyclone, '78 Liquifire. A 295/S and a Dator would be nice, and a sample of the Kawasaki powered sleds would be good as well.

This show is held just north of Baraboo, WI, on property owned by the club. It is the largest show of its type in the state. They'll be plowing, threshing, and sawing lumber. Steam tractors, Kerosene, distillate, and gas tractors, on up to diesels. Antique everything; tools, machinery, cars, trucks, tons of tractors. 5 acres of swap/flea market.

Just a heads up if anyone is interested. For me its pretty much going to be a command performance.

Brian,
This is the best tractor show there is. It is simply unbelievable. I thought I missed it. I am very much interested in going. I'm not sure if I would bring a sled but it probably wouldn't be a big deal. I'm guessing I would bring the 84 Liquifire for the Kawasaki powered machine.

That would be great. I haven't got next years dates yet, but its always mid-August.

Brian,
Are you going this year? I didn't read close enough to realize you were looking for Deere sleds for 2011. My dad, uncle, cousin, and I are probably going on saturday. We had such a great time 2 years ago we couldn't believe we missed it last year. Next year I would probably bring my John Deere B that my great-grandfather bought new.

I'm short handed here on the farm, so I probably won't be going this year.

Boys ...... sorry I missed this post. I have been going to this show for 37 years now. It is always fun. I have been planning on bringing my dator and 295s to
the show next year. I want to get them inside for sure for the feature. I plan on making arangements this year at the show. We always camp there and will be
this year again. Also this year my dad and I are going to try out the swap ....... bringing a enclosed trailer full of good junk! Come visit us ... row 6
far north end.

If you have any pull with the club, see if you can negotiate indoor room for a dozen or more sleds.

I know we'd all feel better if they were under secure cover.

I'll check it out next weekend .........
