[AT] Tractor clubs

[George Willer]

Frobl,

Our club (SCRAP) meets monthly on the third Thursday.  For those wondering
about the name... Sandusky County Restorers of Antique Power.  Just
guessing, there will be about 30 to 35 attending tomorrow night.  Much of
the business is done in executive session of the officers and nine of us
directors.  Everyone introduces himself in turn right after the Pledge of
Allegiance, so we know each other.

Gary and Larry Dotson went to the June meeting and weren't thrown out, so
maybe you'd like to attend a meeting as my guest?  I think you met our
President, Dick Flahiff at the Cub Fest.  The Dotsons got a tour of his
tractor shed.

We have a couple pulls a year and now have our own sled.  Our big deal is
the 3 day show on Labor Day weekend.  This year we are hosting the Cockshutt
folks.  Last year was the Sheppard club, and 2001 was IH.  What a sea of
red!

Our current membership is about 560.  I'm sure many belong just to exhibit
or take part in our HUGE consignment sale on Labor Day.

Not many members use the internet, as far as I can tell.

George Willer
