Don't take this the wrong way. And I hope you don't.
It just seems like to me, that posting info on an upcoming tractor show, tractor cruise, or plow day, or whatever, has gotten to be a dime a dozen on here. Common enough that people just see it and say 'Well, OK'. Stuff goes on all over the country, and most of it seems to get mentioned on here for promotion these days.
I personally don't go much to such stuff. And don't travel far to them if I do. When I see a posting about a show, I might click on it just to see if it's a posting containing pictures taken at a show that happened last weekend. If I see that it's actually just a promotional post about an upcoming show that hasn't even happened yet, I generally just 'x' out of it right then. I wonder how many do the same?? Sounds like it's getting to be practically all.
Many on here (including me), are only interested in looking at footage of something that hapoened and we weren't able to go to. We see a tractor show post, and we go 'yay, let's look at what we missed out on'. So we click on it, only to be disappointed that it's moreless just a flyer of an upcoming event 5 states away.
Sometimes we have a tendency on here to kind of forget how broad the veiwership on here is. Man, it's from all over. Maybe high numbers of veiwership in total. But likely few from your area. About the closest YTers to me that I know of, are only a couple that are atleast 100 miles away. But you got to realize that if you space people out 100 miles apart all across the U.S. and Canada, your still talking about a huge audience. And that's what you run into here on YT.
A local event is primarily going to be attended by local people. Not many will travel any further than over 1 state line. Unless it's something really big like Red Power Roundup.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
