Next Year's Shows

This may be a odd question for this time of year. I'm sure there will be a lot of information posted later on, but I need to know now. At work, we have to schedule our personal vacation days in December. I think my turn may come up this weekend, so I need to know some dates to see if I can get them off. I'm mainly interested in the GOTO in Wisconsin ( I can't even remember the city). Also Hutchinson, I think it's in July, not sure of the date. Thanks.

You bet Pat!!  I can hardly wait!!  That means that WINTER is OVER!!  WOOHOO!!

YES Ranse, you HAVE to get a subscription to Old Allis News.  It'll give  you the shows for the next two years.  And a lot of other shows around the country also.

See ya at BOTH of em!

I haven't checked for a few years but in years past there was a bigger show the same time as Hutch about 20 miles south of Hastings that had nearly as many AC tractors as Hastings one year I went to both.

Thank you for the information Pat and Ted. I've planned to subscribe to Old Allis News, but never got around to it. I'll try to do it soon.

Brian, that half century show sounds interesting too. Of coarse, I won't be able to make all the shows, but I will keep it in mind and see which ones work out best for me.

8th Annual Exclusive Allis-Chalmers Swap Meet hosted by the Missouri Allis-Chalmers Club.  March 1 & 2, 2019.  The Missouri River Valley Steam Engine Association show grounds, Boonville, MO.  Call Randy Grothoff at 573-690-3033.  (Please note that Rick Maldeney passed away.  Rick's name was listed in previous flyers.  So please call Randy.  Thanks.)

Thanks Allen, Union Grove sounds like it's going to be a great show. Having a tough time choosing between it and Hutch. I may have to figure out a way to squeeze them both in. Union Grove is closer, but looks like the path is going to take me right thru Chicago. You're talking to a country boy here. I don't cotton to that big city driving much, lol.

Question about the Half Century of Progress show in Rantoul, IL. I recently got my AC 2 row mounted picker working on my WC and I was able to pick a few rows this past week and it worked pretty well for the most part. I was thinking of bring the picker to the Half Century of Progress Show this year. Having never been there before, would I be able to use the corn picker at the show? Watched some of the past show videos and I remember only seeing one AC mounted picker in action. I'm guessing they plant the corn wider then 30 inch rows, as I would probably need to be atleast 40 inch rows. Guess I could always just take one row at a time though. I didn't know if the corn picker can keep up to today's high yielding corn that is planted at the show? The corn i picked around home wasn't the best.
