All personal transportation vehicles must: 1) be a type with

T
his year’s show is looking to be another busy and fun
show with plans going strong for the double feature.
The show will celebrate Pride of Iowa and Horse-
power.
PRIDE OF IOWA
In 2016, we’ll celebrate the rich creativity and innovation
of Iowans.
From the Thieman Tractor to the Waterloo Boy to the
Hart-Parr, we plan to exhibit items that contributed to early
farm life that were invented and/or manufactured in Iowa.
And, let’s not forget Pioneer Seed, the Polled Hereford, the
Maytag Washer and the Red Delicious Apple!
Two clubs will join us for this feature. Members of the
Doodlebug Club of America will join us to exhibit their
Doodlebugs. These motorbikes were made in Webster City.
Members of the Maytag Collectors will also exhibit as part
of the Pride of Iowa.
Iowans have always played an important role in contributing to the agricultural success of the Midwest. We need to
look no further for ingenuity than right in Albert City where
98 patents have been registered starting as early as 1905.
It’s time to look in those nooks and crannies and discover
what you have that was made in Iowa! We are looking for everyone’s help to represent as many Iowa brands as possible. So,
talk to your friends and neighbors and sign up to exhibit in the
Iowa Pride. So that we can have historical information ready
for each display, we are encouraging exhibitors to register early.
Registration can be done online or by calling the show office.
For more information, contact Connie Reinert, 712-260-0468.
Of course, exhibitors of all makes and models of tractors,
implements and gas engines are encouraged and welcome to
participate in the annual show.
Plan to attend and enjoy as you learn about the interesting
contributions Iowans have made to our agricultural heritage.
HORSEPOWER
Adding to the fun and interest will be the Horsepower
Feature. Already horses are registered from Penn., Neb., Ohio,
Minn. and Iowa.
A Guinness World Record attempt will be held Saturday
afternoon. The attempt will be for the greatest number of
draft horses plowing simultaneously.
The Iowa Draft Pony Association will hold a show Friday
evening. Horse enthusiasts can also participate in the Wagon
Train which will start in Gillett Grove Wednesday with a campout at the Marathon Park. It will continue Thursday to Albert
City and then on to the show site.
There will be many horse-related demonstrations and
exhibits of horse-drawn implements.
POPULAR EVENTS REMAIN
The Board of Directors has secured an additional 20 acres
of land adjoining the west field so that there will be plenty of
room to accommodate the usual tractor field activities, plowing
and threshing along with the horse activities.
The Army of the Southwest, an Iowa Civil War reenactment
organization will return. Visit their encampment to learn about
family life in the Civil War era and expect to see cannon and
other arms fire on Saturday and Sunday.
The Kid’s Potato Patch returns, and will be located in the
west field.
The Talent Show drew some great talent last year and will
return to the entertainment stage. Area talent of all ages are
encouraged to register for this judged event which will include
cash awards.
The Threshermen’s tractor ride will be held again this year
on Thursday afternoon. Tractors of all ages, makes and sizes
