Napoleon Feed Mill Grand Re-Opening April 14th

The weather was a little rainy and overcast most of the day.  However, we had a good time getting our tractors out for the first time this year.  We had 13 tractors at the feed mill, with several club members coming out tractor-free and just joining us in the fun.  Just after lunch we fired up the machines and had a little "drive-about" through Napoleon, then circled back in to the Feed Mill.  The customers coming and going out the mill sure got a kick out of our procession as we passed.  It was a good time, and a good way for us to kick off what's going to be a busy, yet fun filled, season.




Here's a couple of videos we took.  First is Gary Childs unloading his 1936 John Deere 'A' before the event.  He makes it look pretty easy, doesn't he?

Club Treasurer Denis Heckaman gave Gary a helping hand, and unloaded this 1943 John Deere 'BR'.  You can tell Denis has done this a time or two, can't you?

As you can see in this picture and video clip, W4 Country's Tyler Crawford was out doing a remote broadcast at the Feed Mill.  We got him up on Bob Kreger's 1945 John Deere 'A' and took him for a ride as he was live on the air on his cell phone during his remote.  We all enjoyed it, and Tyler's now a fan of antique tractors.
