Richburg, SC Tractor Show

[N80]

Okay folks, I finally got the scoop on this local tractor show. The date is Saturday June 21 starting at Lewisville High School which is in Richburg. It is just off I-77 on Hwy 9. It is sponsored by the Richburg Masonic Lodge and they sell BBQ plates for $7. There is no admission fee or entry fee. Apparently anyone who wants to show a tractor can do so for free but I'm told there are a lot of antique tractors. It does not sound like local dealers show up but I don't know it for sure. It starts at 9 am and runs into the afternoon.

Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who is interested.

Thanks,I think I can make that one.

Well, if you do, look for me. I'll be the tall guy with the dirty orange Kubota hat on.

 

[Redbug]

Hey George thanks! I will probably go to that one, also. If so, I will certainly look you all up. However, I will be the average looking guy with the camo hat on... How do you single out a TBN'er in a tractor crowd?

How do you single out a TBN'er in a tractor crowd?

At the Richburg tractor show I'd say on average we probably have a few more teeth....and possibly shoes.....

(P.S.: I think I can get away with this...I've got family from Richburg.)

 

[Redbug]

One last question George, (with family from Richburg, and then I'll leave you alone?),

I won't ask about the teeth, but will you be wearing shoes????

 

[N80]

I said possibly. Depends on the weather.

 

[N80]

Hey, maybe if we get a few TBNers together at the tractor show, you guys could stop by my cabin afterwards for a beer. I'm about 20 minutes south of Richburg.

I am going to try and make the show. It sounds like it'll fun!

 

[Redbug]

All joking aside...me too.

 

[CUTiger]

That sounds great, thanks for the info. George. I'm putting it on my calendar.

Who knows what will actually be at this show. Could be a couple of 8Ns and garden 'tractor' for all I know. But, the price is right and I'll have a good time looking at a couple of 8Ns and a garden tractor for free!

I don't know who is providing the barbecue. The Richburg volunteer firefighters used to have barbecue sales at the fire department pretty frequently and let me tell you, its good stuff. But, they haven't had one in a while so we can only hope they're doing it.

I went to the Richburg tractor show today and it was great. I posted about it in the owning and operating forum here:

I posted some pics too. Didn't see any other TBNers there but the crowd was actually pretty good so i may have missed you guys.

If you didn't make it to the show this year, put it on your calendar for next year because it was a neat little show.

I didn't see the faded orange Kubota cap, else I would have spoken.
It was a nice show. Weather cooperated, too. It might have been a lot hotter.
I didn't really go just for the excuse to go off my diet for the bar-b-que, but that helped get me up the road.
I'll post some pics later, too.
Good luck, Wm

I was there (with the faded Kubota hat) with my son. We got there around 10:00 and left about 11:30. We came back about 2:00 and it was breaking up by then.

I think with a little more publicity it could really attract a crowd and be a lot bigger. But I'm not sure the local folks want it any bigger.

 

[willfick]

Well, there you go. I got there about 11:30 and left just before two.
Good bar-b-que, too. I like it when it comes without sauce and you choose your own.

I put a page of pictures at

I was wondering if the fire dept guys did the bbq. We pass by the fire dept on the way down to my property. They used to do BBQs there quite often and we'd get it there. Really good stuff! They haven't been doing them as much lately but they have a sign out that they're doing one this weekend. They will sell you a whole, slow cooked Boston butt and they are great to take home. Just pull it apart and add sauce!

Great pics!

I'm already looking forward to going back next year. I might bring my own little tent and stay all day.

I'd love to find an early 70's Kubota to restore and take to the show. I'm pretty sure it would be the first and only import.
