Club Meeting/Picnic-June 7, 2009

National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame

  The Greater Kansas City Two-Cylinder Club had a meeting/picnic on Sunday, June 7, 2009 at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame with 39 present.  New members included Paul Cummings and Carl Knuth.  The meeting followed a delicious picnic that included an assortment of goodies provided by the group.  We had a great meeting following the picnic--it just goes to show that people operate better on a full stomach  (that sounds like an army slogan).  Major topics included: (1) Dream Factory Tractor Cruise follow up, (2) Tractor Daze- July 11, 2009, (3) American Royal Parade, (4) Missouri State Fair - Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009, (5) November club meeting, (6) Club Trip - Nebraska, (7) Club Jackets and (8) selling the Hendricks JD B tractor.  Highlights from the major topics included:  During the Dream Factory Tractor cruise follow up by Dan Hanna, Dick Smith with the Dream Factory thanked the club and presented the club with a plaque for a job well done.  Tim Daugherty, Director of the Ag. Hall, was present to talk about a “Mud Run” that will be included along with Tractor Daze.  Bill Eagleburger presented information on the American Royal Parade, Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009, starting at 10:00 a.m.  The theme this year is “Educating Youth--Riding for a Reason.”  The president mentioned the Missouri State fair is Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009, 6:00 p.m. Ray Jones in Belton, Mo. will host the Nov. 2009 meeting.  Ken Buell and the president will be working on a trip to the Nebraska Test Center in Sept. after Labor Day.  Following the meeting, Ken Buell and Bary Porter “resident auctioneers” auctioned off the Hendricks JD B tractor and 3 point hitch separately and then together. Duane Craig was high bidder ($1100) on the tractor and Wes Storm was high bidder ($600) on the 3 point hitch.  No one bid on the combined units.  Total bids were $1700.  Thanks to Bob Antes and Wes Storm for bringing the tractor to the meeting.  Also thanks to everyone for coming and enjoying the wonderful day.
