Well, 2 months away, looking forward to the 3 day event in Portage. If you have not heard about it, it is on Face Book. My son and I will be there on Friday and Saturday displaying several of our tractors and some extra parts to sell. If you are on the forum and come, please stop in and say HI. More on what we have later. MARK YOUR CALENDAR. See you there.

Look for my trailer!
We will be there and set up, early I hope as they have limited camp spaces w/electricity.

david, i am not sure how that works for electricity. last year we roughed it and slept in the trucks, others had generators running where they where set up. others set up and camped on the other end and i am not sure/remember if there was electric there. might want to go on FB and contact Bret for the full scoop.

Randy
I've been there several times and vended.
Seems like they are doing more remodel every year and keep moving around the vending locations and doing away with some of the electric camp spots, bummer for sure.
How many baseball diamonds does one really need anyway!!

Looks like a neat garden tractor show to attend!

And if you make the trip be sure and set aside some evening time for the WWI museum downtown.
Bret and his wife run it and usually offer to open it in the evenings for anyone interested.
2 floors just chock full of WWI items, each with a story and Bret and the his Mrs know them all!

The WWII museum isn’t downtown anymore, Bret sold it all to a guy up by Marshfield. Bret gave the first tour at the new location.

I have been through it twice while in Portage, well worth the time.

 

[dschwandt]

Thanks for the update on the museum!
Appreciate it.

There are usually people selling cub parts there.

 

[jkoenig]

Chuck, you might try posting in the classifieds under parts wanted, and mention meeting at Portage, GT Daze. You may even find someone local to you.

 

[dschwandt]

BIG swap meet there.
What are you looking for?
I will have a bunch of items, some reproduction parts as well that I make.
