I went to the one this spring and had a great time. This would be a great place for a meet & greet, its in a park so there is plenty of room. Ken Stephens makes some very cool reproduction Wheel Horse parts (I hope he brings some) . Its real close to Stephen's house too, so I hope he can make it this time

Same weekend as the Terra Haute show mentioned in another thread. I cant go to either, gotta work that weekend.

Hey Ken sounds like a road trip to me, and if the featured tractor is WH we better take the big trailer

Being it's a saturday/sunday show I should be able to make it...atleast on a sunday?
I have missed the first 2 shows...I know Richard Layne & Ken Stephens whom put the show on & it seems to be takeing off.
Also thanks to Glenn for posting this early enough to mark it on the calander.
Hope to see some of you there....maybe even the Red Square Mafia Lincoln with TMO in the trunk.

Just had a Mentone flyer emailed to me last night so here it is.

Now that's a nice background for a flyer! Is this an "all breeds" show or more of a Wheel Horse is majority type of thing?

Dustin I have never been to one yet, but to answer your question....yes & yes.

Who's all going? I will plan on it.

That park is nice...but small..... And from what I remember from spring...there is almost no parking.

No parking doesnt sound good for trucks with trailers hauling in tractors. Did ya notice if they have someplace for truck parking?

Its a bit far off to be sure but sounds like a nice show to look over.

I am sorry I did not take any pictures from the spring swap meet.

There are a few grassy areas around the parking lot. The "parking lot" that I saw would hold about 10 carefully parked cars. But If your showing or swaping I would assume you can park in the grass with your rig and that might amount to 3 or 4 acres. Any cars "visiting" could park along the road when the lot is full.

I am sure if they have had this before....they have it figured out.

I guess these two guys running it aren't RedSquare members? Would be easier to ask. I will try to call them tomarow for more info.

I strongly doubt it if I can make the Mentone show, but Terre Haute is more of a possibility for me. But, I can't promise anything. I don't think the trunk in the red limo will be too comfortable.

Wasn't a thread already started on the Mentone show????

Mike,
This was the original thread - in other words, this was the first one started. I will merge the other one with this one to eliminate confusion.

Sorry Terry,

I knew there were several, but did not know which was newest.
