East Peoria Celebrates a 100-Year Partnership

Here are some pic's of the tractors that were at the east peoria 100-year partnership celibration. Had a really good time meeting up with people and meeting new people from the club. Hope you enjoy! Mike

some more....I forgot to get a picture of the road grader and Mack truck. Hopefully someone took one and will post it soon.

I got a few and will post em! That was my favorite "display".

Tommy likes to display his truck and Bill's grader. He got the idea from a photo of a semi hauling a grader years ago that he found some place, which turned out to Chapter 4's Mike Furgason's machine when he was in business for himself, small world. That is also the First Grader Tricia Potts learned to run. Yes we still have copies of the photos tucked away.It was nice to talk to Lee and some of you today.

Terry, I saw you from afar, but then you disapeared. Wha-happened? Sorry I missed you. By the way, here is a picture of Tom Bronge's B-Mack with Norm's 212

My wife is orginally from the Peoria Area. We stopped and visited her one uncle and aunt before heading home. Did not want to get home too late. Nice event. I hope they have more like it in the future.

where did you get the posters that you had infront of the machines with the owners info etc. on it.

Thanks to all who attended the 100 Year Anniversary of the Holt Plant celebration in East Peoria on Sunday.

A special thanks to these club members who displayed equipment at the event: Bill Hanson, Bill Peterson, Bob Stewart, Mike and Matt Dumolien, Tom Stanesa, Tommy Bronge, Bill Shuldt, Dick & Chuck Riggert, and Bruce Vinkler.

Also a special thanks to those of you who gave up your day to help out in the tent and with other tasks: Dave Tallon, Kent Bates, Bruce Vinkler, and my wife Phyllis.

Thanks Tricia for all your work in preparation and for giving up your Sunday to be present and work the tent.
