By Travis "Lord Farquad" Schweizer (Tschweizer) on Sunday, April 10, 2005 - 10:46 pm: I'd like to thank everyone who attended and made this a fantastic event!! I was a little worried when I saw the registration numbers, but we had over 300 people at the event, and over 150 tractors. The field we plowed was 53 acres, and there was about a 5' strip that wasn't finished, and the headlands. The owner of the field said we plowed an easy 50 acres, so hats off to the plowers!! The Rockford Volunteer Fire Dept took in over $1000 for the food stand, so on their behalf, a big THANK YOU!!!!! We enjoyed hosting the event, and look forward to our next turn. I would also like to request (as a courtesy to future hosts) PLEASE take the time to register, even if you're unsure if you'll be able to attend. We ran low on food, and could have used another porta pot. The registration is to help get an idea how many people will be there for these reasons, so please help out by registering. That being said, any word on a fall Plow Day??? Seems like it's time for an IN area???
