MOW-IN 2009 Houston Delaware

Well, another Mow-In has come and gone and another great one goes into the history books. The setting was great. The Sam Yoder Farm was a great location. There was plenty space for everything and the facilities were top notch. I know that Lindey (and I'm sure all of the other women) really appreciated the fact that they didn't have deal with a porta-potty the whole weekend. Everybody involved were very helpful and friendly. A very special thanks to Russell and Mary Ann Yoder for their hard work and attention to details. From what I could see, everything was flawless. We had a great time and would go back for a future Mow-In. In fact, we'll stop by if we are in the neighborhood just to say hi!

And congratulations to the gentleman in New York that won the raffle tractor. It was a beautiful Commercial 12 with a 40' deck. It was restored by Brain Jennings and was so shinny, my camera wouldn't focus on it! I bet it didn't look that good when was brand new!

One thing I've never seen at a Mow-In before was such a large gathering of the Gravely Widows Society. (click on Gravely Widows to see their picture, Thanks Rev Phil) They were in uniform, out in force and they were a force to be reckoned with. More that one GTCA member found himself standing in the dust, watching his spouse and tractor drive off in the Parade of Power, including me. They even had their own group picture, and if I can get a copy, I'll post it.
