Amana Tractor Shows

Today we headed to Homestead (one of the 7 Amana colonies) for the Annual Minneapolis-Moline Reunion, and then we venutred to Middle Amana where the Allis-Chalmers show was also being held.
Although the show was for MM and AC, the first vendor we came across was Wally's Tractor Hats. This is the same guy where I bought Dallas' Oliver hat for his birthday. Right away, Doug and I spotted this hat and thought a special little girl needed it...
Those farmer's will tinker and modify anything! (in case you can't tell, that's a picnic table on the flatbed)
In previous years, the MM and AC shows were both in Homestead, so when the parade started the MM's would come from one direction and the AC's would come from the other. This year, as mentioned before, the AC's were in Middle Amana; therefore, the parade only consisted of MM's. It was still a great time and Dallas walked away with a couple handfuls of candy!
While in the Amana's we did a little garage sale shopping! You just can't beat the prices there...
13 items for around $5...one pair of jeans for Dallas and the rest are jeans, shorts, skirts, & summer outfits for Reba
Until next time...
