Pioneer Days at Irricana
This is the first of probably three posts, chronicling our trip to Irricana on Sunday, April 12th. The event was the annual “Pioneer Days” and we went to meet up with Grandpa and Grandma Huber who were there for the weekend. We arrived mid-afternoon, paid way too much to get in (even after getting a 30% discount), and met up with Grandpa and Grandma right away.
The main event for us guys was the “Parade of Tractors” and the “Tractor Pull” – done with vintage stock tractors rather than custom built ones. Here’s some pictures of some of the really old tractors that were driven in the parade.
The steam whistle from this tractor was really, really loud.
And here are a couple of the other really old ones that had been restored and were in working order..
Those were or are fabulous machines. Wow, that would have been fun for all the guys.
