THE 2012 WMT TRACTORCADE ARRIVED IN MAQUOKETA AT THE FAIRGROUNDS THIS AFTERNOON. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE AROUND
540 TRACTORS HERE, FROM ALL OVER EASTERN IOWA. THEY STARTED
THEIR 4-DAY EVENT SUNDAY IN DEWITT AND AFTER THEIR OVERNIGHT STAY HERE IN TOWN TONIGHT ,THEY END UP IN DEWITT TOMORROW.
MOST ARE OLDER MODELS, BUT THERE ARE SOME PRETTY NEW ONES TOO.
WE HAD DINNER IN VOLUNTEER HALL ON THE FAIRGROUNDS WITH SOME OF THE DRIVERS....A COMPLETE HAM DINNER WITH COOKIES AND BARS AND BEVERAGE FOR ONLY $7. THERE ARE RV'S ALL OVER THE PLACE AND
THE HOTEL, MOTEL AND BED AND BREAKFAST....ALL FILLED. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTOS BELOW. CLICK-ON EACH PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT.
NOTE, THE PHOTO OF A TRACTOR WITH A RADIO. YOU BET FARMERS LISTEN TO KMAQ ON THEIR TRACTOR RADIO. NOTE THE TWO TRACTORS
WITH BACK SEATS FOR RIDERS.
