ANTIQUE FARMING EDUCATION DAY
Click on photos to see larger version

2008 Dates, September 26th, 27th A great day of educational fun was enjoyed by over 100 school children and their parents, on what could have been a rainy day on Friday, September 7th. The rain held off and everyone had a wonderful time! The exhibits were enjoyed again on Saturday by the families who attended. Antique Farming Education Days were designed to give children a chance to see how their parents and grandparents used to live. Many of the exhibits were hands-on, and participants were able to take home samples of the demonstrations. Featured events were: Antique Tractors Handle Factory Cider Mill Quilting Grist Mill Corn Shelling Blacksmith Shop Beekeeping Tin Shop Threshing Ropemaking Working Steam Engine A free lunch of hot dogs, beans, chips and cookies was provided by the members of the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association and various generous sponsors. MMOGTA hopes to make this an annual event, and urges schools, and other student groups to attend. Check the website later in the year for next year’s dates.

Welcome to the all new Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association website!

We hope you will make full use of our newly launched enterprise by exploring the various categories of information and entertainment offered here. Don’t forget to check back frequently to see the most recent updates.

Conceived in 1974, the MMOGTA is a non-profit organization, whose stated mission is the preservation and restoration of antique farming methods and machinery and the production and presentation of an annual show featuring both. On August 17, 18th, and 19th, 2007, we will make good on that promise for the 33rd time as we welcome you to one of the biggest, busiest, and best antique tractor shows in the Midwest.

What began as a small, neighborhood threshing bee, has now become the destination of choice for antique tractor enthusiasts and collectors from Michigan and several states around us. At the Mid-Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association's first meeting we could seat the entire membership around one picnic table and still have room for the dog, but we now claim well over 300 member families as perhaps our most valuable asset.

The park-like environment of our showgrounds boasts dozens of buildings to house numerous resident display items, and the facilities and infrastructure required to support the thousands of visitors who attend our events. The Michigan Gas Tractor Club or Oakley Tractor Club as it is sometimes called, has fielded as many as 1700 registered exhibits, and we host several hundred camping units each year.

The MMOGTA's annual show features an almost endless schedule of events and attractions with many choices at any given moment. Live crop harvesting, threshing, plowing, and tillage demos will be running in one area while 2 or more tractor pulling events may be under way in another. You will want to see the veneer mill, visit the new handle mill barn, help carry boards away from the sawmill, and smell the dust of the flour mill. Tour the vast acres of displayed tractors and machinery in one of our comfortable people movers. Shop through the flea market and the arts and crafts areas. Rest awhile in the bingo tent. Help hammer out an artifact in the Blacksmith shop. Treat yourself to a fantastic home-cooked meal or visit any of the dozens of food vendors around the grounds. Come early for the pancake breakfast and stay late for the live music and dancing. Come to learn, come to participate, come to enjoy, as we recreate the golden era of agricultural and industrial mechanization.
