This past November I attended a banquet for our regional (NJ, CT, east PA, southern NY) Chapter 8 of the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club. Those in attendance were welcoming to this new young member and afterwards I mentioned to some of the directors that I was a Connecticut resident and a ZF member. Most of them attended the 2007 HCEA show and a few after that but none since our building spree commenced. They are looking for new places to go and display equipment and play in the dirt as where most of them are in NJ and Eastern PA, they are on a perpetual tour of the same venues. I agreed to put a proposal forth with my fellow Farmers.
We have several members who own Cat equipment spanning anything from ag crawlers to graders to hydraulic excavators. I know our folks would make them feel welcome and bring out their yellow (or gray, or black, or rusty) toys, and the ACMOC folks sounded happy to bring their toys up here. All they requested was room for a tent and display area. Easy enough. We've had success bringing groups to our shows and I think this would be a good one. What do y'all think?
