Happy Holidays

Cody's wife sure knows how to throw a birthday party.

It was a pleasant surprise to many of us to learn that our last pull of the year was also Cody's birthday. It made it all the more festive and special and everyone had a great time, the weather was fantastic and the food was melt in your mouth, delicious! Thanks to all those who pulled this together.

Hope everyone is enjoying a good holiday season. The new year is already looking good for our CCAMA group starting on Jan. 26th in Washington, UT at 5pm with our annual meeting and banquet. It is at a really special place this year. It will be a specially catered event in a more private location that will even allow for some dancing after the meeting. Watch for more on this as things get finalized. In the meantime MARK YOUR CALENDARS. You won't want to miss this meeting!

Nothing ends but something new begins

Well the Pulling season, according to our CCAMA calendar seems over.

Sherman and Kip Hansen reported that the Iron Country Ride had been a lot of fun.

The event last weekend in Page was an even better success than we had hoped and another is definitely in the planning stages for next year. Thoughts are for a longer outback ride, a morning and afternoon pull with a lunch break, more display items and a possible tractor sale. And we upped our memberships from Page from 5 to 8.

We had 2 full days of pulling as well as an outback ride that everyone seemed to enjoy. Most had never driven their tractors on unworked land before and found the experience a fun challenge. The weather stayed on our side for most of the time. Although a bit windy on Saturday the rain held off until we had had 6 hours of pulling and then let loose and really watered down the field making it an even better track for Sunday. Again we had 6 full hours of pulling with many of us realizing in the late afternoon that we not only hadn't eaten but hadn't had our wake up cup of coffee.

We didn't have a lot of display items but did have 2 that came from the Flagstaff area and were well received by everyone such as the "Do Nothing Machine" that Earl Wolfe brought.

You may have noticed I mentioned a tractor sale above. One thing we had not expected was the interest by the Navajo in our tractors as objects to buy. They are really in need of the small tractors for work on their property. So next year we may promote something like that either with our pull or on a separate date. Anyone have any tractors they would be interested in selling? Know many of them also mentioned parts, so it might be we could set up something on that line as well. Any ideas?

We still have some of the commemorative pins left. They sold for $3 at the show but if any of you want some for $2 each let me know.

Rob Gay, one of our newest club members from Page has a great photo expo of his experience with our tractor pull on his website at http://dinodomain.com/tractor/ it may take a few minutes to load but well worth it.

Hope you will take note of the For Sale item Charlie has and the poster below for the Cedar City Lifestock and Heritage Festival, Oct. 26 and 27. There won't be a pull but they would sure like us in their parade and for display. Our thanks to Sheridan Hanson for sharing that with us.

Our computer has been down for the past few days, which delayed getting this up and I will be adding more photos this weekend so be sure to check back.

Upcoming Events - Aug. - Sept.

This month has two great events to attend and participate in.

First the Western Legends in Kanab, UT. Aug. 24-25, 2007. Our pull will be at 9 am Saturday, Aug. 25. Be sure to preregister to help this event start on time.

August ends on the 30th with Peach Days in Hurricane.

September begins with the Iron County Fair Antiquer Tractor Ride and Show, Sept. 1-3. See schedule below. Preregistration for this event is appreciated.

After you have rested up from that be sure to attend the Page, Arizona Pull and Show. This is a first for Page and we are working hard to get things ready. Last month we attended a show and pull in Flagstaff and many of the displays are interested in attending our event so we are looking forward to quite a good showing. Jim and Gene have begun to grade and level out the area for the pull. We have been fortunate to have Big Lake Trading Post as our host site. It sits on a crossroads of Highway 98 and Coppermine Road. The adjacent corners all offer areas of free parking with plenty of room for self-contained overnight, or just a place to park your truck/trailers, etc. We are lining up raffle prizes, have ordered commemorative pins and a banner for uptown, will have a program with restaurant guide and 1st - 3rd place ribbons for our pull winners. The city has offered the use of a set of bleachers for beside the pull. It's all started to come together and interest is growing. Hope to see you there. Preregistration is appreciated.
