~ Notice to viewers:  Our website has been and is experiencing several problems.  Many pictures that were on, (and are back on), several of our event pages ~have, from time to time, mysteriously decided to disappear, all by themselves. Slide shows, after being installed according to directions supplied, have so ~many blank windows in them that I have totally given up trying to use the slide show feature and when you go to the website, you never know what any ~given page is going to look like, as many times, the information, pictures and/or the button locations have changed, again, mysteriously, all by ~themselves.  I have called GoDaddy's "customer service department" and after spending considerable time with them on several different occasions, they ~have not been able to give me any solutions to correct the problems so, if you experience similar problems when you try to view the pictures, etc., that ~have been posted on any of our event pages, I apologize for the shoddy appearance of the site due to the less than favorable "customer service" that ~I have received.  The latest answer I have gotten from "customer service" is that I will have to, "go to their new, upgraded program" and start all over again ~as they have made no provisions to move any of the information, pictures and/or pages from the "old website program" to their new version.  Needless to ~say, I will not do that.  In my humble opinion, using a GoDaddy website leaves a lot to be desired but for now, with all of the time I have invested in this ~site, that is all that I can do.                        Lou Kocon Jr.

  CONSTRUCTION OF OUR BUILDING IS FINALLY FINISHED.  CLICK ON THE BUTTONS BELOW TO SEE PICTURES FROM BEGINNING TO THE END.


 This is a picture of club member, Marshall Carper's fully restored 1967 Massey Ferguson 135 farm tractor which he donated to our   Agriculture Museum just before he passed away on July 26, 2021.  Finally, this morning, May 13, 2023, five of our club members   went to Marshall and JoAnne's house, "loaded her up and brought her home".   The 135 will be on permanent display in the   museum building to honor Marshall's memory.  To see all of today's pictures click on the red button here.

 

 


 Finally, we would like to say thank you to all of the individuals,   and companies that donated to our building fund and to our   material suppliers, craftsmen and to the local businesses that   assisted us in other ways throughout this project.  To see a   listing of all of those who are mentioned above, click on the   button below.



 

 Saturday, April 27, 2024 will be the second of three BBQ Chicken Sales that we will be   running as fund raisers for our antique tractor club this year.  We will be selling at two   locations.                                                                                                                             The first location will be at the pit itself which is located at the Wholesome Foods Edinburg   store, 986 South Ox Road.  The second location will be at the Food Lion shopping center   next to the First Bank in Mt. Jackson.  Look for "Chicken Man" pictured above.           Chicken will be ready by 09:00 hours.  Due to the prevailing economic conditions in this   country at the present time, the cost, this year is $6.00 per half.  You can pre-order chicken   by calling the following telephone number, 540-436-3652 up until the early evening on the   night before the sale and speaking to either Gloria or Leo.                                                       So, come on out and get yourself some of the best BBQ Chicken in the Shenandoah Valley   and at the same time help to support our Agricultural Museum located on the Shenandoah   County Fairgrounds.  Thank you and we hope to see you at one of our sale locations on   Saturday.
