I have no idea where one would start with planning a show, but can offer advice. SAFETY FIRST. These tractors and implements were designed before OSHA was ever thought of. They do not have the safety features of the newer tractors. Have safety meetings with anyone who wants to exhibit and explain these things. Visitors should not be allowed to touch any equipment while it is being used or running. Speed limits of 3 mph or so should be enforced. Sorry to go on about it, but safety makes any show a great one! Also, don't be afraid to ask for help from the community, there are people in every community who will donate their time just to have a chance to work with finely restored equipment, and original examples of what they grew up with. Make sure that it will be accesible to the elderly, they love to reminisce about the old days. I personally love demonstrations, I love hearing these old tractors work, and watching the equipment doing the job it was made for. If possible, plowing demos would be great. I'm not sure what else a person could do in the spring - threshing isn't really an option. Good luck!
