A Great Day With CCAMA

Part of the Work Party / Test and Tune Saturday April 13

CCAMA members with tools, red dust on the backs and arms of their shirt, the smell of axle grease and the loud roar of the air compressor made the Work Party scene yesterday. I saw Leroy in his tool box looking and sorting for tools, Kevin Peiksma put on the training wheels of the sled with the help of John Kirkland Jr. and Paul Moen filled up the tanks of the sled with water. I posted the photos and video I took on Facebook.CCAMA Facebook Page

Watch Video below of Kevin Peiksma and John Kirkland Jr. putting on the training wheels of the tractor sled. 




Everyone had a different task and duty. I had the pleasure of talking with Sheridan and Kip Hansen about Internet, the world, and emails, and children. We laughed and laughed. I must have slapped my knee 10 times. It was the first time I heard Kip laugh. Both father and son have delightful laughs.

CCAMA provided lunch for us all.

CCAMA Year End Awards For 2018

2019 Annual meeting, banquet and 2018 awards.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed seeing all of you at the annual meeting banquet and awards. I brought my deviled ducks eggs and there was ham, ribs, and chicken, potato salads, pasta salads, cookies, and cake. 

As I walked by Red Salisbury,
he struck a very nice pose. Click*

I gave Charles Canhan his DVD of all his pulls from 2011-2018 and also showed Rosemary Christensen her article here on CCAMA  in our series, Women on Tractors. Click on the  purple links below if you haven't seen the articles yet.

Here are the year end awards for 2018. 

Our President, John Kirkland gave me a list of award recipients. I was to locate photos I had of each person on the tractor they drove and preferably pulling the sled. Each photo needed to be turned into a pdf file. A pdf file is a file format that provides an electronic image of text or text and graphics that looks like a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. Then the photos would be printed on metal trophies.

Just a note:
I do really enjoy documenting, recording, and chronicling with my camera and with written testimony so those photos and videos I took were there for a good purpose. And that feels pretty good. And Bill DeSilva, our co-photographer, saved the day with his photograph of wife, Donna. Whew* 



Watch Video of the awards below. It is 11:35 minutes. 

See in the image below of (the video) June Salisbury and Rosie Kirkland are handing out the new trophies which had the winners' photo printed on them. There were holes in each corner for mounting on the wall. It was such a unique and different way to make trophies. You can see everyone holding up and showing off their award in the video.

CCAMA Annual Meeting Details

Women on Tractors-Rosemary Christensen

Rosemary Christensen Pulling with her 1952 MTA Farmall.

I so enyoyed interviewing, Rosemary. It was during the Iron County Fair while the tractor pulls were going on. We went out behind the grandstands and found a table to sit at. 

That look of Rosemarie's. She is so positive and focused. Photo by Bill DeSilva

I asked her how she got started driving tractors. Here is what she told me.

I was first inspired by my husband, David and my two son-in-laws. David's family used a little Farmall A on their farm in Salem, Utah when he was a kid.
When David and I were married in 2006 we bought a vintage 1952 Super MTA Farmall that someone restored mechanically.

  Red Salisbury, co-founder of CCAMA, and his grandaughter, stepped in to teach me how to drive the tractor and encouraged me to,  "keep on going."

Between 2001 and 2006, I would never have imagined my marriage to David, driving the tractor, and the life I have now.

Women on Tractors June Salisbury

During my first event as a CCAMA Member, my jaw dropped when I saw women driving the tractors. I was in awe of these women ! It is unique to see a woman on a tractor pulling a sled at an event. Just do some research on Google. Put in the search "women on tractors" Do you know what you will see? You will see beautiful women posed in front, on, or across the tractor. In this club we have beautiful, strong, and capable women who know how to drive a tractor and compete in tractor pulls with the men. So I asked them, How did you get started driving tractors?

June Salibury has written the following:

June Salibury, one of the founders of CCAMA, on her Case VAC "TUFFY"
 at the CCAMA Tractor Pull,
 Kanab, Utah  9-2013

Tractors and Antique Machinery started for me in 1995.

We went to our first antique machinery show and tractor pull in South Jordan where the Utah Antique Machinery Assn was holding their annual event.  I could tell it was really love at first sight for Red and I made a decision right there to learn to like tractors, or I would be left at home.  This event was very enjoyable and educational. During the next year Red and our son Phil bought 2 tractors and started to restore them and get them ready to pull. When 1996 rolled around and it was time to go to the UAMA event we took one tractor, the 1947 Case LAI.  While they were involved in pulling and hanging with the guys, I went over to the antique machinery show where they were auctioning off a Case VAC tractor. I bought that tractor and I still pull it today. It was previously owned by a church and used only to mow weeds.  It was kept in great shape and with a bit of care it was ready to go to the pulls in 1997.  From that point on I have taken “TUFFY” to every tractor pull possible.  

June on the Minneapolis Moline U Diesel
Cedar Livestock Festival 2013

In about 2005 I decided I wanted a bigger tractor so I bought the Minneapolis Moline U Diesel.  After many years to restore it and tons of money it is now known as the “MONEY PIT” and I hate pulling that bigger tractor, so Red has a new tractor to pull.

In 2000 there was a small group of tractor enthusiasts in Southern Utah, so we got together and decided to start our own branch of EDGE&TA.   With Red as the President and Me as the Secretary we got our start. We also had to include everyone that worked for us and most of our family members to get the 25 members required to start a branch. The rest you might say is history. We put on our first pull and recruited many more interested people. Each year more and more members came out to pull.  Because we started with several husband and wife teams pulling that trend continued in our club to this day.  It has really held our club together because pulling tractors has become a family event.

We have traveled all over the west buying antique tractors and farm equipment.  We have made many friends across the west at tractor shows and events. This has been a fun hobby.

WE HAD A GREAT EVENT ! 
YOU ALL LOOK SO GOOD OUT THERE.

Did you have a good time? The weather was perfect, beautiful blue skies with wispy clouds. Look how Bill Desilva captured the sky and the tractors at the Diamond Arena in this photo he took.

There are many people who make this event a success. Let us give a hand for these ladies who keep this event running smoothly as you are all weighing in and pulling your tractors. I saw them from across the arena and I just had to get a picture of them. I shuffled through the dirt weaving in and out of draft horses and tractors and made my way to their table where they perform their wonders.

Donna DeSilva, Rosie Kirkland, and Rosemary Christensen

This is a job not many people can do. It requires focus and constant attention to details. They keep track of your pulls, and fill out your ribbons, and keep it all organized in everyway possible.  And on top of all that, they manage to stand in for each other to pull their tractors! Amazing. 

I enjoyed photographing you all and have quite a few videos. You can see the first batch of photographs I have uploaded on the Cedar Livestock Festival 2018 CCAMA album right here at  Google Photos.
