A club dedicated to promoting the history of agriculture using antique John Deere equipment
2019 Annual John Deere Show at Rough & Tumble Historical Association Grounds
The biggest change to the show for this year will be the implementation of a hook fee for non-Waterloo Boys members during the garden tractor pull. Waterloo Boys members will still have the opportunity to pull for free. Additionally, we will be more vigilant in ensuring that all pullers are Rough and Tumble members and will be making efforts to make sure that the R&T gift shop remains open prior to the start of each pull. Last year, we had planned on having a 5 mph pulling class for 6,500-pound tractors. Due to unfavorable weather, this did not happen; however, we plan to try again in 2019. The silent auction will occur once again on the Saturday of the show. We are always looking for volunteers and this year we are trying out offering volunteer signups online via: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054EAFAA2EAAFD0-john
