The Lions Club in Timewell. IL holds a toy show as an annual event. The toy show is held in the gym of the retired school. The toy show dates back many years. The club later started displaying tractors in front of the school.


This year, the Lions Club celebrated their 75th anniversary. To commemorate, they placed a plea for 75 tractors on display.


They almost made it! The final count was 62.


I’ve gone several times over the years as a spectator. 2026 was my first year to take a tractor for display. Digger Dave Kemp and I had planned to help increase the count, but Dave couldn’t go. I should’ve taken two.
