"Teach your children the joy of restoring, preserving and playing with antique tractors and they will never have enough money left to get into drugs!"
TheMassanutten Antique Tractor & Gasoline Engine Club, Inc. was ~established by a few local residents back in 1989. Their idea at that time, was to ~preserve antique tractors, gasoline engines, farm implements, and equipment.
Over the years, the club grew from a few members to a membership that at ~one time was over one hundred and fifty members. While our activities too had ~increased over the years, our main focus was and still is on the preservation of ~the tractors, engines, and equipment that helped to put food on the tables in "a ~simpler time, not so long ago". To that end, for twenty-nine years, we held an ~annual show where members and non-members were encouraged to bring their ~tractors, engines, implements, and equipment and to demonstrate how some of ~these things were used "back in the day".
Also, over the years, our club had become more community-minded by ~supporting and donating considerable money to many local charities. As our ~membership grew older and as several of our members passed away, it was ~obvious that we could not continue to put on our annual tractor shows and after ~receiving an offer from the Shenandoah County Fair Association to put up a ~museum building and display area, the decision was made to take them up on ~their generous offer. At the present time that is where we are focusing our ~efforts. We would gladly accept donations of either cash or any building ~material that could be used to complete this project.
We always welcome new members, those who share similar interests, and ~those who would just like to see how things were done, "in the good old days".
"IN GOD AND COUNTRY WE TRUST!"
