Mary Pulford was the Leader of the Pack as the ladies of McIntosh took center stage and stole the show on Sunday during the Tractor Day parade.

Driving a 1935 F-12 Farmall from the Ostenaa “Boys” is Kay Roth. This tractor originally belonged to Kay’s grandfather, Einer Enerson, who bought it new, then in 1943 it was bought by Gunnie Oscar Ostenaa.

The rumor is that Jane Aakhus is a big tractor lover! She took the opportunity to make her way through town on a 1949 Super C Farmall owned by Roy Ostenaa.

Connie Strom says, “Jobs not wanted,” but she and her granddaughter, Mya, seem to be having fun on this 1948 Allis Chalmer.

No stranger to the tractor seat, MN. Rep. Deb Kiel stopped in town for the parade and drove this 1948 C Farmall with the rest of the ladies.

What can’t Vicki Strom do? Straight shooting but she spent her share of time in the fields too!

Nikki Carlson, driving a 1938 John Deere B with a trailer for the kids, this past Sunday afternoon during the Antique Tractor Parade in McIntosh.

Driving a 1976 Farmall 506 Diesel International is Janna Syverson. The tractor belongs to Bud Kiecker who bought it when he started farming in 1972. He says it was the biggest tractor in the neighborhood at that time.

Darlene “Johnson Girl” Durkiss on a 1966 Farmall 1206 Turbo. This was her dad’s tractor, and he would have been 90 years old last week. She is driving it to honor him, and special thanks to Phillip Quam for loaning it to her!

Driving a 1949 A Farmall was Devra Carlson, who despite what they say really doesn’t drive it to work everyday.

Tractor 101...listen to Carey. With the help of his lovely wife, Elaine, they announced the tractors and drivers and made sure everyone had a good time during the McIntosh Antique Tractor parade on Sunday, August 28th.

For the first time since Roy Ostenaa, Mary Pulford and Steve Urness have been putting on the Tractor Parade in McIntosh, it was rained out.

First delayed on Saturday, August 27th, thinking the rain would pass, the drivers of the tractors huddled under the picnic shelter at Erickson Park and the parade onlookers cruised the streets, sat under awnings and watched the rain continue to fall.

The 3 coordinators decided to postpone the events. Even the only indoor event, the quilt show at the Community Center was quiet without anyone stopping, due to the rain storm.

The antique tractor parade was rescheduled for the following day, Sunday, August 28th. With the sun shining and the streets crowded with onlookers, the tractors, about 90 of them, made their way through the streets of McIntosh.

The quilt show was also a success on Sunday when the doors reopened for everyone to visit and appreciate the hard work and creativity of our local quilters.

The Kiddie Pedal pull, sponsored by the Polar Beach Snowmobile Club will take place during Craft and Market Day in McIntosh on Saturday, September 17th. The event will still take place in front of the Fire Hall.

The Tractor Day coordinators are still planning a Tractor Pull that was also cancelled on Saturday due to the rain. They say possibly in late September.

Stay tuned to the McIntosh Times as more details will follow.

More tractor pictures will be in the Image Gallery this week.
