Welcome
to the Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association website!
We hope you will make full use of our website 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. We make good on that
promise as we welcome you to one of the biggest, busiest, and best
antique tractor shows in the Midwest every year on the 3rd weekend in
August,.
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 400 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 Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Club
or Oakley Tractor Club as it is sometimes called has fielded a couple
of thousand 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 handle mill barn, help carry boards away from the sawmill, and
smell the dust of the flour mill. You will also want to 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; help hammer out an artifact in the Blacksmith shop; and rest
awhile in the bingo tent. Make sure you treat yourself to a fantastic
home-cooked meal or visit any of the dozens of food vendors around the
grounds. You also won’t want to miss the Chicken Barbeque on Sunday.
Come early for the pancake breakfast and stay late for the live music
and dancing. Much more show information, schedules, and maps can be
found on this website. On the 3rd weekend in August we invite you to
come to learn, come to participate, come to enjoy, as we recreate the
golden era of agricultural and industrial mechanization.
