I don't show tractors. First place I spend enough time on a tractor during the week most of the time that I feel no need to spend free time on em, but I have been to the Rollag and Dalton Mn show a few times. Dalton is about 20 iles and Rollag about 60. In both cases they are non profit clubs. All the monies made are dumped into the grounds, club owned equipment and chairities and or scolarships to the best of my knowledge.
That means most of the members are interested in preserving these things and showing others how they were done. Most of these guys are willing to spend both money and time to keep it alive. They invite others to show their tractors to make the show better. Now these clubs spend many hours each year, year round maintaining sites, buildings all on volinteer time. The Rollag show has a member in Fargo ND with a machine shop who host work days over the winter to fabricate parts for club owned equipment.
Now a guy with a tractor shows up who has contributed nothing to the year round effort to keep the show going. Most of these shows charge nothing to display. But if they do so what. It's your hobby and hobbies cost money!
I can see someone complaining if the show sponsers are making a profit.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
