We will be coming back next time around for sure, but we will prepare differently. I think it would be better to come early in the morning to look at tractors before the crowds get too big. We also want to bring a golf cart or something since it is so big, and throw a cooler with food in the back of it so we don't have to wait in line to eat. And I will definately try and find a map of the grounds. I saw a few people with maps, but we could never figure out where they got them. I think it has real possibilities to be a good show! The thing I like about penfield is the layout: demos over there, for sale over there, tractors over there, vendors over there.. this one seemed like it was just will nilly all over everywhere. When I mentioned the people wandering about the parking lots looking for the entrance to the show to one of the volunteers at the gate, she said she wished they would "tell the volunteers something as well. We don't know what the heck is going on anywhere" We didn't even get down the the field demos since it was so hot and we didn't want to wait all day for a people mover with space on it. I'm still looking forward to the next one, and I marvel at the volunteer effort involved. Don't take any of this as mean spirited, just observations. I'm sure if there is any group of folks that can whip it into shape, it's the antique tractor crowd.

Oh yeah.. last observation... the local media had no idea what was going on either. They misreported the 60 bottom plow time on two different outlets and we missed it. They also stated that there would likely be "several dozen tractors on display" I think there were a few more than 36 there :)
