Thank you for visiting CCAMA
(Page views 15,760) Until next time Plan your next Saturday at Cotton Days in Washington, Utah. We will be in the parade and the tractor pull. See you there !
I am happy it is spring because it means I get to see you all at the events. I get most inspired after these meetings we have in February. After the winter break, I am ready to meet up with you all again and here the schedule and plans for the year. It is time to get those tractors rolling, pulling and parading.
The food was delicious. I had my appetite set for those Dutch oven potatoes. Everything; the main dishes, the salads and desserts and company was great!
The officers were unanimously voted in for another year. Each and everyone of them do such a great job. Thank you.
I learned a few things too. Our club is praised for the weighing in before the events and for the programs printed out by June Salisbury. I never knew how important that was.
Here is the slideshow of the meeting and awards. Click this link
Please email me any stories or pictures you would like me to post.
Looking forward to seeing you all in April.

“Good farmers, who take seriously their duties as stewards
of Creation and of their land's inheritors, contribute to the welfare of society
in more ways than society usually acknowledges, or even knows. These farmers
produce valuable goods, of course; but they also conserve soil, they conserve
water, they conserve wildlife, they conserve open space, they conserve
scenery.”

Riding on a tractor can be so much fun. Riding on a tractor in a parade is double the fun, I think. Riding on a tractor in a tractor pull must be triple the fun but we shall get into that further on down the page.

them. I love sitting in that special tractor seat next to my husband. There is nothing like it. And to my surprise I am not the only wife who thinks this way. I saw a few familiar faces two at a time on one tractor during the parade ! I think the wives will agree with me it is a very special experience. You will see them in the video and also see Leroy Brady with his dogs, Shredder and Butch, riding right up there on the engine. I saw drivers waving to the crowds and the crowds waving back with happy smiles. Children held their own bag in anticipation for candy that was tossed to the curbs from parade participants. You couldn't ask for better weather. I know that the weather report hadn't looked very good all through the week. But suddenly there was a change and we enjoyed blue skies and gorgeous expanding white clouds which waited on us till we were done. This parade is fun because we get to do it twice. We turn around at the end and go back the way we came which allows us to see the folks on the other side of the road and see each other.

Now the Tractor Pull.......
CCAMA Tractor Pull in Panguitch, UT www.ccama.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/ccama #tractors #anitique #tractor sled # event
The 3 little clouds I saw before the parade kept expanding and when the parade was over well, see for yourself in the photograph above. Big huh? But the day remained dry that was until Paul Moen broke the sled on his second run in the 4000-4500 class. He was the only participant in that class. While Paul Moen got all lined up for his pull he took off and pulled that sled father than anyone had. We all thought, "Wow, Paul's making history !" And then the no pull hand signals were waved and we all sat back down. He tried again and the sled would just not move. Then it began to rain a bit . Watch the video below. WATCH VIDEO- Tractor Pull
The day was done for most. the grandstands emptied. The sled was hauled off the track and the sled doctors were at work with exploratory surgery. See below.

Rain or shine, broke or running smooth, it is always a good day when these events come. The men and women and teens who drive these tractors are tough and seem to take things in stride.
Farmers are philosophical. They have learned that it is less wearing to shrug than to beat their breasts.
