Hello farmerboy3!
I'm sure others will chime in with other shows, but....the show you mentioned...Lacombe...was this past summer.  The show location for 2010 is Moose Jaw, SK.  You'll find details about the show on the home page of our website under Show News.

We should have a poster up shortly advertising the event, July 10 and 11, 2010.  Accommodation information  was posted about a week ago on these forums as well.

Our shows always have vendors and stuff for sale.  Bring whatever you've got for sale as well.

i'll have to see what i can arange if i start planning now i might be able to make it

is it all just IH or everything?

yes the advertisment will prolly answer alot of my questions

[BYakimyshyn]

This show is a Chapter 38 International Harvester Collector Club show, so yes, it will be all IH at this one.

There are quite a number of other shows that I know of in Alberta, many of them connected with Agricultural Societies.  You can find some of those shows here as they become available:

[farmerboy3]

[BYakimyshyn]

So sorry for the slow response.  Verdamt email has been giving me tons of grief. 

Do a little light reading under Everything Else IH, and you'll see quite a few pics of previous shows.  Also, you can order the previous shows on CD from Gary Algot.  Everything you'll need for contact info is on the home page.

The Rosetown Antique tractor club has our annual show on June 12.  This year we are featuring all makes.  Also we have a swap meet , again all makes represented.  People may have space if they have a lot of stuff for sale but if they just want to move a few things the club has a table and will sell for you.  You have to enter as a displayer ($25) but that also gets you breakfast, lunch and in the gate.  Outdoor location.

This year also a tough truck competition- imagine 4 wheel drives on a moto cross track.  The show is in conjuction with the Rosetown Museum Days.  There will be various displays in an around the museum that day as well. 

Farmerboy3 if you will promise to come I will take my 7288 into the show.

Anyone wanting further info contact me.

I have part of the previous post wrong.  If you want to be in the swap meet it is free other than your gate entry. 

[farmerboy3]

wow you have a 7288 i didn't know there was one so close to home i live in coleville about 1hr and a bit a way i will have to make an attempt to come.

[7288cdn]

The 7288 is going in for sure.  Also a 1920's IH truck and an original 15-30. Post here if you are coming with an IH product.
