Pictured below is Lainey Roberts she is the granddaughter of JR Roberts in our 'Parts Research & Special Orders' department. Lainey, 5 years old, attended her first tractor pull this summer at the Southwest Ohio Antique Tractor show in Eaton Ohio with her father Craig. Looks like she is following in the family tradition.
Gera Old Tractor Days This Weekend
The Gera Old Tractor Association invites you to attend their annual show June 13th and 14th. Gera is about an hour drive from Lennon, near Frankenmuth and Reese . The show will take place at Reinbold’s Sales and Service at the intersection of M-46 and M-83. Admission is $3.00 and parking is free. There will be lots of tractors on display. Tractor Pulls are taking place on Saturday and Sunday. Tractor Pulls for Antique Tractors will be held on Sunday. A Dyno will be on site for the participants to measure their horsepower.
Kiddies' pedal pull will take place throughout the 2 day event. They also will offer Pony rides. Also, the club has a very unique tractor pulled “train” to entertain children and adults alike. Demonstrations of corn-husking are also planned for Sunday only.
The club will be serving Bean Soup, bratwurst, and hotdogs. They will have Pepsi products available for sale as well.
This is a great time to visit the area as it is also Frankenmuth Bavarian Festival weekend. You can take in the sights and sounds of Frankenmuth and head out to the country to enjoy an old time tractor show.
Also, if you are in the area for the Bavarian Festival, feel free to stop by the show grounds on Friday evening at about 7pm. An auction will be held with many farm related items being auctioned in addition to donated items by local businesses. Many of the tractors on display will be participating in the Bavarian Festival parade on Sunday as well.
Several vendors will be on site for the show including Steiner Tractor Parts. Steiner Tractor Parts will have a booth for display and pre-orders only, no parts inventory will be carried to the show. One of our employees, Elizabeth Gross lives near the show and will be manning the booth. Stop by to say Hi!
