2nd Annual "Garden Tractor Daze" Portage WI July 12-14,2013

Post by Bret »

Thank you all again who came to our first show and helped make it a great success!

We have some surprises for our show this year coming up. The show will open Friday Noon and will close down with a parade on Sunday at noon. This will give the out of state people a little more time to drive home.

I will release more info as it is confirmed. One confirmation for sure is that the "Vintage Garden Tractor Club of America" will be holding its Regional show with us that weekend during Garden Tractor Daze. I'll keep updating as we go. Anyone who would like some fliers to hand out to friends please let me know.

-Bret

Just wanted to tell everyone coming to have a safe trip and can't wait to see what you bring this year.

We are hoping for more Cub Cadets this year. I wanted to apologize... last year I ended up posting to the old Cub Cadet Forum and I felt bad that people let me know afterward that they didn't hear about it till it was to late. So this year I figured it out, this is the Cub forum to post on.

There are a few people that I ran into this year at shows that are bringing some Great Cub Cadets ....and Rare ones at that. A Gentlemen that I met up North at the Plainfield, WI show was driving around on his all Original Pull Start Cub...this will be there too.

Anyone that has questions can give me a call 608-697-3690 Thanks, Bret
