Gathering of the Green

Post by Lavoy » Sat Nov 09, 2013 5:04 pm

As of right now, I am planning on going to the Gathering of the Green in Iowa in March. 3 days of swap meet, clinics, and tours of the Deere plants if a person wants to.
Just a thought, if anyone else is going, might be a good time to get together, and kind of centrally located.

I booked my room a year ago, and signed up for the factory tours as soon as they were posted. It is well worth the 1200+ miles. Even if the tours are full, the seminars are worth the trip. The clubs that put it on do an OUTSTANDING job! Pat

Pat,
Glad to know I will have someone to buy lunch! Did you get a table, or just coming to browse?

Are you going to have a table, or share one? Pat

Don't have one yet, still need to call and see if I can get any. Going to share one or more with another guy. I can see if I can get an extra if you want to bring stuff.

Okay, sending out my application tomorrow, so plan on being there Wednesday afternoon. If anyone wants anything in specific brought there to save freight, let me know in advance, I will bring it with.
Everybody else, if you are coming, or in the area, would be a fun time to get together and have supper or whatever. We have talked about it for years, just never had a good time and place to do it. If you are wondering what it is, search Gathering of the Green in Iowa in March, and you will find plenty of info. Workshops, factory tours, swap meet, food and people, had a blast every time I have gone. Hope to see you there.

They have a very informative website at www.gatheringofthegreen.com. Lavoy, good idea on meeting for supper or just a BS session. Since I won't be going to Polk's, I may fly to Davenport rather than drive.

Okay, getting parts gathered to take to the show. Anyone needing anything in particular let me know soon, and I will bring it with. I won't be bringing a lot of parts with, so if you need something specific contact me in the next two weeks and I will bring it with.
