Echoes Of The Past Kick Off Show Season at Tractor SupplyThe weather Saturday brought out a parking lot full of vintage and antique tractors and garden tractors to kick off the show season for The Echoes of The Past.
Allis Chalmer, John Deere, Farmall, Oliver, International, Ford and Case tractors were all represented at the show.
When those visiting were asked which tractor was their favorite, no particular tractor stood out to them, according to a news release from Echoes of the Past. The overwhelming answer was that all the tractors were very unique and very cool in their own way.
Homemade ice cream was made using a tractor provided by club member Keith Young with Jessica Joy preparing and dishing up all the ice cream. A welcome treat on such a warm day, many coming back for seconds or even thirds.
If something more substantial was what their palette was craving, McHyser BBQ brought in their food truck dishing out barbecue.
One the biggest attractions at the show was “Lucy,” a Bell 47 used in the film “Whirlybird” in the 1950s and flew Lucille Ball between engagements at Desilu studios. The helicopter, brought in by Brian from WIOE radio, broadcasted live from the show. Patrons at the show flocked to learn more about the helicopter, checking out the photos of Lucille Ball and talking with Brian about the history of the copter. Those attending the show could enter to win a free helicopter ride, courtesy of Brian and WIOE. Two winners were selected: Joyce and Ed Dauscher from Columbia City and Matt and Ashley Pulley from Pierceton.
