Classic Green Reunion

Post by 400brian »

The Classic Green Reunion is going to be held in West Bend Wisconsin on June 12 - 14, 2025

This event seems to be generating some excitement amongst Deere collectors.

Obviously it is in the planning stages right now, but the Deere sled collectors are planning to put on a display.

At this point a couple of us have rooms booked at the Comfort Inn just south of the Fairgrounds.

Nick, what was the event in Columbus? Ohio or another state? I'm a little east of you in the Medina area.

The Classic Green Reunion is a John Deere tractor show that moves to different locations. I think the event happens every two years. In June of 2021 the event was held at the state fair grounds in Columbus, Ohio. There were quite a few snowmobiles (only Deere of course) but much more Deere related equipment. Eventhough I've been to larger snowmobile shows I found the mix of all sorts of Deere equipment to be very interesting.

Here's a link to a post about it. viewtopic.php?p=137909&hilit=Classic+gr ... on#p137909

Edit: below are a few photos I took of the 2021 show in Columbus.
