First of all, thank you for Steiner’s support in the 46th annual Mark Twain Old Threshers event. We had a very good turn out even with rain everyday leading to the event. As you might know, Missouri is swamped with rain and that week brought us an additional 8 inches in three days prior to our event.
Due to the flooding of roads, our Tractor Ride was shortened from 40 miles down to 28 miles as many of the country roads were closed. However, we still had a good turn out (with inclimate weather ) and enjoyed a good ride.
On the parade route day (which is a big deal in small town MO), we had over 45 tractors in the parade through town in addition to the floats, bands etc. This was a great success.
This is the first year at our event to have tractor games. It was 97 degrees in the shade (and shade was hard to find) but we had 10 tractors participating in 6 games. This made for some fun entertainment for the crowd.
Your support of oil funnels, tshirts, etc was well received and put together some nice grab bags from you and our other sponsors. The catalogs flew off the table as many of the older guys do not rely on internet, and really like the catalog. I like the conversations…. “look at page 78, wasn’t that the part you were looking for?”… was heard a lot.
Again, thank you Steiner Tractor Parts for supporting these small town events.
