Farm Heritage Day - July 14, 2007

National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame, Bonner Springs, Kansas The GKCTCC rocket ship landed at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame on Saturday July 14, 2007 for Farm Heritage Day,.  The weather was great but a little on the warm side later in the day.  A big thank you to Thurman Duncan and his crew for getting the pull tracks ready on Friday so they would be great for Saturday.  It was a win win situation for everyone.  Activities seemed to go as scheduled:  Tractor display (38) tractors, antique/classic tractor pull (110 hooks), garden tractor pull (106 hooks), two pedal tractor pulls (10:30 a.m. - 12 kids and 2:30 p.m. - 12 kids), Parade of Power (12:00 noon) plowing demonstration by John Didde (JD G) and Glenn Ratliff (JD 60) and tractor games.  Results of the tractor games included:  Slow Forward (Jim Arnote lst place, Charles Eagleburger 2nd place and Barry Dahmer 3rd place), Slow Reverse  (Jim McClung 1st place, Bary Dahmer 2nd place, Jim Arnote 3rd place), Quick Reverse (George Reed 1st place, Keven Parks 2nd place,
Charles Eagleburger 3rd place), Quick Forward (Gavin Parks 1st place, George Reed 2nd place, Rick Hooper 3rd place), Coiling Chain in Circle (Kevin Parks, 1st place, Barry Dahmer 2nd place, Gavin Parks 3rd place), and Barrel Roll(Garcia Howard 1st place, Jim McClung 2nd place, Kevin Parks 3rd place).  Thanks to all the great help that was available on Saturday--it seems like they just kept unloading from the rocket ship. Also, a big thank you to Cathy Hahner and her staff at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame for the great hospitality on Saturday.
