This year's feature is "Canadian Made Tractors and Equipment". As always, August long weekend, Aug 1st - 4th.

David, I sure your Grandfathers' tractor would fit the bill. Maybe the Coldwater museum would lend the Empire to advertise the museum at the G-Bay show.

I can bring some tents and we can have a CCIGT booth as a meeting area.

There's also a GT ploughing demonstration. (It's just a few guys playing with tractor's in the dirt, so bring your ploughs).

The Coldwater museum is bringing the Empire 2 wheel tractor among others . I will be bringing My Springfield 2 wheel tractor and it has a plow , disks and cultivator , Fuller and Johnson Hit and Miss engine , both Great grandfathers tractors and the Allis Chalmers B-112. I would like to bring my Case tractors , but they are in use so much I have not had time to finish paint and stuff . Next year .
See you there

Maybe we can connect with you and have a "Whats-ap" virtual tour. For that matter, anyone on CCIGT.

The show is this weekend. Starts Friday and goes until Monday. Saturday and Sunday are the busiest/best days. This year we're excited to have the first GT tractor pull for members and newbies. So if anyone is interested in Hooking for the first time, here's an opportunity. Big tractor and truck pull on Sunday.

@Spike188 - let us know when you decide on a day - I think Kelly and I are going to try and take in a couple of antique / steamshows this long weekend - Georgian Bay was already on the list, and I recently found out about a much smaller event in Jarvis, this weekend -

a few pics from the garden tractor pulls . This was the first time for this there . Club members bought a pulling sled for this class to get the kids more involved . 3 classes this year up to 500 lbs ,up to 1000 ls and over a 1000lbs . The first two were just the stock classes and the other were the modified class .
I must note that Ian (Futz) on an beat up old Sears tractor with a one cylinder diesel won the stock class with the longest pull and should get a prise for the slowest pull . :rofl: here some pics
