When February rolls around Valentine's Day is not on every farmers mind it's The National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. The show falls around Valentine's Day each year. We just drag out celebrating and I get my flowers and date after the show is over. This year we went out with a group from the Kentucky Soybean Board for Valentine's. The show lasts for 4 days and last year drew over 300,000 people in attendance. So yes it's crowded and I keep the boys in the stroller most of the time. It can easily become a sea of people. This year was the 49th year of the event with over 850 agriculture exhibits. Big C has gone every year of this life and the Little C's are working on keeping the record for themselves. I'm on my 4th year. Since this show is just an hour north of us this is an easy record to keep. Little C1 remembered last year and was very excited this year to climb on the tractors.
I'm not sure how to best explain this event to someone who hasn't attended. It's basically lots of tractor dealerships of all colors next to each other as well as every implement to pull behind a tractor. The newest, latest, and greatest equipment is there to be climbed on my young and old. It's a place to network and talk with organizations and companies for farming supplies. This event is a mix of work and play.
