I know one of you works at a Case IH dealer ...
For the next four days, we're under siege. The Great Iowa Tractor Ride is a 4-day event with people coming from all over the country. They pick a different city every year, this year is our turn. Woke up this morning to the sound of a tractor parade on the street in front of the house ... I stopped counting and walked away from the window at 121. Newspaper and radio say there are nearly 600 tractors registered. They fully expect more than 500 present and participating on each of the 4 days. For those of us in the midwest who get a little antsy at being stuck behind a combine or planter and slowing traffic down - imagine what it looks like to have only tractors as far ahead as you can see. Kinda cool, in a way, just don't be in a hurry. A lot of these are classic and antique tractors. Some pulling wagons/carts. About half of them are flying American Flags.
