Yesterday, along with my daughter, SIL, and grandsons, I attended the Medicine Lodge, Kansas Peace Treaty Pageant.
There were a number of antique tractors in the morning parade including a sideways engine Case. The model eludes me.
At the pageant grounds parking areas, tractors and flatbed trailers with bales on them were used to transport attendees from the parking area to the entrance gate.
While most of the tractors being used were very nice looking antique ones a few modern tractors were also used to fulfill the transportation needs. After all, moving 7,000 to 10,000 or more people does take a lot of tractors and trailers and the operators were doing an excellent job of keeping up with the new arrivals.
The pageant is a reenactment of the Plains Indians (5 tribes) signing a Peace Treaty with the U.S. government in 1867.
I'm not sure I have ever seen so many horses and work horses gathered in one spot before. The horses and longhorn cattle were well trained and most never even flinched from the cannon being fired nor the many rounds of ammunition being fired sporadically.
A very impressive pageant and the residents of the entire area are to be commended for the giant effort it takes to produce this event. Sadly, it may have been the last year for it to take place.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
