M E SS AG E F R OM TH E P R E S I D E N T
Greetings to all our members: Our biggest event of the year is over. We had an interesting show at our festival even
if some changes in our event schedule were made that changed some starting times, we now have an opportunity to
review and plan for our next festival in 2015. Our land in Norridgewock is progressing and our August 3rd meeting is
to be held at the Club House in Norridgewock. I hope this meeting will be a chance for our members to contribute some
ideas and thoughts about the land. We have a long hard road ahead to make it happen, but I think we can do it. Keep
them tractors rolling. —
­ Bob Clark, President
Highlights of the MATC Festival
Planning and working on the annual festival takes a year.
The hard work begins Wednesday morning. The first trip
Terry hauled the club trailer and I hauled our Gibson to the
fairgrounds. Unloading the tables and chairs in the Starbird Building is hard work. For some reason those tables get
heavier and heavier each year. The final trip Thursday Terry
hauled our camper and I hauled our Gator. Over the years the
festival has become a happy and a sad time. It’s always happy
to see the members, some we only see once a year. It’s sad to
think about the members who are no longer able to be with us
or who have passed away. It was a busy 3 days. In all I did 43
new and renewal memberships. In addition I sold 16 shingles
with the MATC logo branded on them. Thanks to the work
done by Ric Parady and Ron Winship on the progressive drag,
it worked great with only one minor problem. It’s fun watching the doodle bug pull. The pullers work as a team and have
fun doing it. I always miss the charity auction Sunday afternoon. The bidders go home with less money and some neat
items. Some must really like pie. Thanks, Pam Vaillancourt,
for all you do to make this charity fundraiser such a success.
If we didn’t have some hard working members, we wouldn’t
have a festival. Thanks, everyone. This year Debbie Rivard
worked really hard on the flea market. When she handed her
money over to Terry each afternoon, it was all counted. Mike
Rivard was kept busy doing many different things. Eunice
Michaud, Rita Fitzsimmons, and Joan & Eugene Alley spent
their days at the sales table with very few breaks. Terry and
I want to especially thank Ralph Bagley and John Ekholm for
helping us pack up Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
We usually do it alone. Another big thanks to all the members
who sold tickets at the gate. When Terry & I finally got home
Monday, we were exhausted. Tuesday was spent counting
money and going to the bank.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harriet Spencer, Secretary

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Our 2014 Tractor Festival has come and gone for another year. We
lucked out with the weather, no rain storms this year, and it was
hot all three days. Many thanks to all members who work very
hard to put this show on and and it takes good team work to make
it successful. Everyone works together, helping and supporting
each other in whatever the task is that has to be accomplished. The
charity this year was for the Maine Lung Association in honor of
Dick Larrivee, who along with his wife, Martha, was chairman of
the festival for many years and a faithful member of MATC. Dick
and Martha worked many hours for the good of the Club. We
extend our thanks to Pam Vaillencourt and Barbara Jordan for
their dedication to organizing the charity event each year. We also
extend our thanks to the Antique Tractor and Lawn and Garden
Pulling Committee’s for their dedication and hard work putting on
the pulls during the show, the pedal tractor pull for the kiddies,
doodle bug pull, to all of the in field demonstrations, gate people,
sales table, flea market, our Secretary and Treasurer, Festival
Chairman, Judy Adams for the photo’s she takes and puts on the
website, all of the vendors, and to all of the folks that brought their
tractors and put them in the line up for everyone to enjoy. My
thanks to all the campers who faithfully come every year and to the
new ones that come in each year, I enjoy visiting with you and look
forward to seeing you again next year.
The next Festival Meeting will be on August 6th at 7 pm, the first
Wednesday of the month, at the Club House in Norridgewock. Take
care of yourself and each other.

MATC President Bob Clark, Martha Larrivee,
and Pam Vaillancourt.
With $704.00 donated by tractor drivers from the “Hook
Fee Pull” Friday evening, items donated from our inside and
outside vendors, club sponsors, cash donations and homemade
pies entered into the Pie Baking Contest for the Sunday
afternoon auction, the Maine Antique Tractor Club has had
another successful charitable fundraiser. $2429.00 will be
donated by the MATC to the Maine Lung Association in
Memory of Dick Larrivee. This is only possible as a result of
the generosity of our club members, their families and friends.
A gigantic “Thank You” to all for making this happen!
Photos from the Festival are on the photo Album page, along with a local paper article.
Many thanks to Judy Adams for all the great pictures!
