Entertainers Or Just Tractor Folks

Entertainers or just tractor folks.

Written By Bill DeSilva

I think that if we are just tractor folks we could have all our events in a back yard. 

We could parade along a fence line and I’m sure we could pull across any four acres. If it was just about the competition that’s all we would need. 

I believe that we’re more than that.

The facts say that we’re entertaining people when we’re in a parade.

There are people in the stands when we pull and people come to these events to be entertained.

When Leroy puts his dogs on the hood, that’s entertaining. The first time I ever saw the Livestock Parade the thing I remember the most was the tractor with the dogs on it. I still have the photographs.

Bill and Donna DeSilva

When the announcer reveals the competition between Donna and I as husband and wife and who gets to cook dinner, that’s getting the audience involved and that’s entertainment . The 50/50 “H” and it’s story board when it’s on display will attract attention, it gets people involved, and that’s entertainment.

When Rosemary pulls a wheelie , that’s entertainment.

We may not realize what we’re doing , and we certainly aren’t rock n roll stars but we surely entertain.  

I believe that this is a good thing.  Let’s face it, people aren’t exactly breaking down the doors to join our club. Wouldn’t it be nice to pass the torch to some younger folks who may be attracted simply by seeing these wonderful old tractors in a parade or a pull. 

Do we have a duty to promote history?  I’ve elected to do as much as I can to promote us.  It’s entirely up to each of us.

I for one am proud to be a part of something that entertains, preserves history and surrounds me with awesome folks with like interests who I’ve come to call my friends.

Happy Tractoring🚜🚜🚜

Cedar Livestock Festival Tractor & Draft Horse Pull 2015 PART 1

Cedar Livestock Festival was amazing, fast paced, exciting and full of action ! One after the other the tractors and pullers and draft horses with teams gave us their all. The engines rumbled through our flesh, the chains clanked and hoofs thundered on the earth and the crowds just roared !

The following video is Part 1, a  full account of this event with these giant gorgeous draft horses and your awesome vintage tractors. I forgot to grab a program and counted on the announcers content to explain names of pullers and models, year, FS or FS+. June sent me a program but I do not have Office to open it up and Sheridan has one for me if I need it. I learn a lot about identifying your names and about your tractors from these programs.

Video Part 1 Features:

CCAMA has A Store On ZAZZLE !

 

John Kirkland our CCAMA President gave me the okee dokee and I have

begun a CCAMA store which has endless possibilities. All royalties go to CCAMA. a great way to support your club and I welcome any ideas or photographs you would like on a mug, card, poster or most any product offered by ZAZZLE.

 

 

Paul Moen found this tractor in Torrey, Utah. Allis Chalmers vintage tractor Model W Speed Patrol Grader could fit industrial applications. Besides using them for street maintenance, small construction companies used these for road and driveway construction from 1940-1949. By 1949 there were over 3,700 of these made. This image is also on the t-shirt where a pocket might be and has the name and model written below the image. This comes with a variety of shirt designs and colors to choose from.

I am designing everyday and Zazzle has a sale on everyday. For today November 12, Zazzle is taking 60% off T-Shirts and 20% overall on other items.  Most items are able to be customized that means you can "x" out the original image and text and put on your own and CCAMA will still get that royalty from what you purchase. Also if you enter through our links from this CCAMA site you can shop all over Zazzle and CCAMA will still get a royalty even if it was not bought in our  store.

CCAMA Caravan 2015 Videos !!!

CCAMA Tractor Caravan 2015 Cedar City to Parowan via Parowan Gap.
www.ccama.blogspot.com

I love riding in these caravans. 
Traveling that distance, 28.5 miles, with the wind blowing in your face, the tractor engines roaring and the beautiful country of Utah all around you is exhilarating !

Click on the picture to make it larger.


And speaking of wind, I had to add some music to the videos because of it. And I am so glad I did. With the music and the flags waving it is really inspirational.  You got to see and share these videos.

 Next time I am sitting on some bales of hay in the wagon so I can swivel and capture the video and photographs more quickly. It was suggested that I use an office chair with a swivel and maybe rollers. That would be fun.

They say if you are a follower, the view never changes. Well that is not always true cause the landscapes during this caravan were ever changing and yes, there was that one XL blue gingham shirt of my husband's always in view but I like that shirt and what is in it. I enjoy riding in that hay wagon too.


The video is snippets along the route to Parowan Gap and part 2 is from the Gap to Parowan.

Right now I am waiting for the music to load up onto the videos and I am so excited for you all to see how wonderful an event this all is. I am toe tapping right now in anticipation.

Kanab, Utah Post CCAMA Parade Video

John Kirkland and his two granddaughters after the parade in Kanab, Utah
www.ccama.blogspot.com

To see this club on their tractors is such an inspiration. You can tell in an instant the care they have put into their tractors and the desire to share these beautiful machines with the public. Smiles and waves to greet you and American flags waving in the breezes. It is a sight to see. The sounds of their motors and the clanking and vibrating of the metal and all the history that goes along with these vintage tractors is surely and event.

I missed the actual parade and so did hundreds of other people who may have not even known it was happening. So next year just wait and see. We can make sure they do know.

Alas I got to see them coming around the corner as they entered onto the parade route. We were on our way to the where the tractor pull was. I grabbed my camera and took some shots but the window was glaring and dusty.

We pulled into the old junior high football field and I ran down the road to see if I could catch them and I saw them coming in off the road. I got to see them all in their tractor regalia, American flags and dogs and grandchildren. So here's CCAMA after the parade.

 

Thank you for visiting CCAMA
Come back soon and see the videos of the
Tractor Pull in Kanab for Western Legends Roundup. I got some very good video of all of your pulls.
Until next time remember,
