The has town has an annual festival which includes a car show. This year they want to include a display of vintage tractors. They want to award trophies in classes prior to 1940, 1941 to 1960 and to "Best of Show". I believe that making the show competitive takes the fun out of it.

I not going to get wrapped around the axle for those who will pay money not to get dirt under their finger nails, but I don't want to compete with them. For two or three thousand dollars I could have a trophy winning tractor by the end of the week, but I would'nt enjoy it. Should tractor shows be a display of individual personal pride and accomplishments or a competition for trophies? K-Mo
