Also any information you would like to share pertaining to the history of the club would be most appreciated, thank you to all those who have contributed so far. Notice: We need some volunteers to take the lead on this project. Perhaps we need to postpone the celebration until the 25th anniversary. ECATC Fall Pull - October 16, 2011
Time for a New Club LOGO????? The suggestion has been mad that the club needs a new logo, The new logo can be used for the 20th Anniversary. Voting on the new logo will take place at a future meeting. There have been four ideas submitted so far, anyone have any more ideas??? I will reprint the logos in the November newsletter. ATTENTION!!!! Future of the club Newsletter and Website As of January 2012, Cheryl Bernier will no longer be available to maintain the website and format the newsletter. For those members that do not know, Cheryl created the newlsetter format that we currently have and designed the clubs website. Thank you Cheryl, for presenting club information in a professional format for past 9 years. With the loss of Cheryl, volunteers will be needed starting in January of 2012 for the maintanence of the club’s website. It is currently done using Microsoft Front Page. Anyone with this software or interested in maintaining the website please contact Megan Megrath @ 978‐948‐2823. Also, if members wish to continue to receive the clubs newsletter in a booklet format as it is now, we need a volunteer who has Microsoft Publisher software. This volunteer would be receiving and formating material submitted for the newsletter into a booklet and sending it along to the volunteer who is currently making the copies of the newsletter. Please contact Megan Megrath if interested. It was a beautiful, sunny, fall day for the club pull on Sunday ,October 16th. Some members said it was the best pull ever. The pull was well attended by close to 70 people, who between them brought a mix of 26 tractor makes and models for pulling. In other words, there was a very nice color assortment. As usual attendees packed the food tables with plentiful, delicious food. Thank you to all who participated! And yes, at the end of the pull, when the boat was loaded to the max with blocks, the Presidents 1959 JD 730 had to be used as the pull back tractor. The 730 replaced the 2011 JD 4WD, with cab, Model 7230 pull back tractor………….I seem to recall this happened last year also. Editors note: I was informed that if the Model 7230 tires had been loaded and the tractor had the proper ballast, there would have been no difficulty using it to the end as the pull back tractor.

2011 Deerfield Fair Members rose to the challenge and hauled in 73 tractors, 11 hit‐and‐
miss engines and assorted pieces of farming equipment and tools from all over New England. Again this year, in exchange for the club exhibiting and holding plow days, Applecrest Farm in Hampton Falls, NH who donated a total of 12 bushels of apples, 25 mums and 24 pumpkins. The club would also like to thank Hogs Hill Farm in Kensington, NH and Brian Matarozzo, who donated the corn stalks. The club would also like to thank the Tractor Supply Store in Chichester, NH and the Blue Seal Store in Derry, NH for their donation of corn for grinding, the Coca‐
Cola Company, Seabrook, NH for their donation to the club of soft drinks and Andy O’Book who donated several packages of chicken legs and sausages. The fair committee once more created a brochure including a schedule of events and an exhibit map to aid the public in enjoying our display. The fair committee received many positive comments in regards to the number of tractors, working exhibits and demonstrations. A big thank you to the dedicated sales staff of Andy O’Book, and Blanche Levesque, with the assistance of Barbara Capobianco and Rita Carr and Peter Elshout who signed up 7 new members at this year’s fair. The total profit in sales of cookbooks and calendars was $509.25. Including memberships, and donations the club raised $747.25 at this years fair. Without the tireless dedication of the 81 club members that hauled in tractors, set up exhibits, worked the exhibits, staffed the sales table, cooked meals, donated food, educated the general public, and broke down the exhibit after the fair, none of this would have been possible. A great big thank you to all who helped out during the fair! Tractors displayed at this years fair.
