CubFest 2004
Event Calendar
Friday Afternoon and Evening - June 11th, 2004
We will be expecting the first of our visitors anytime after lunch hour on
Friday, although if you have arrived early, give us a call at either David's
or Alton's home phone. We can make arrangements to meet you as you arrive.
There will be ample room for RV parking, however there is a limited amount of
electrical hook-ups available, so access will be on a first come first served
basis.
As you are arriving throughout the afternoon, registration, setting up and of course a walk
around the farm is probably the main occupation as well as meeting your hosts.
After supper, there will be a Meet and Greet where we will have either an open
fire pit (depending on the fire index), or a covered pit where we can roast
franks, sausages, marshmallows as you choose. This will be a great time for
all of us to finally meet those whom we have chatted with and became friends
with on the Forums. Of course the requisite Tall Tales and Good Jokes will be
quite apropos, and will be enjoyed by all we hope.
Saturday - June 12th, 2004
The first workshop - "Carburator Rebuild" - will start at 9:00am thereabouts
and will probably run about 1 to 1-1/2 hours depending on how things go. The
Plowing Competition will be held shortly after the end of the Carb Workshop
and will run till about 12-12:30, after which, lunch will be available on site.
This is still being negotiated, and we are hoping that one of our local deli owners
will be providing lunch. We are trying to negotiate a special low price for lunch
and it will be a pay as you go affair.
The second workshop - "Transmission Rebuild" will start approximately at 1:30pm
and will probably run about the same as the Carb Workshop - 1 to 1-1/2 hours in
duration. The Hilling Competition will be held shortly after the completion of
the Tranny Workshop.
The object of the Plowing Competition is not how fast you can plow a row, but how
accurately and how straight. There will be independant judges on hand, who will
decide the winner of the competition. I am sure that we will all enjoy either
watching or participating in the contests. The Hilling Competition is much the
same, not how fast but how well you make the rows. Remember that a farmer takes
much pride in how straight and true his rows are and our farmers here in the Maritimes
are no exception!
The Judges for our Competitions will be representatives of our corporate sponsors. Prizes
for each competition will be presented at the conclusion of each excersise.
Dinner is planned to be a sit down affair, most likely to be a Roast Beef Dinner
with all the fixin's. This also is still being negotiated as we want to have
the best available at a reasonable price.
In the evening after dinner is the Olde Tyme Barn Dance
,featuring the
Happy-go-Lucky Fiddlers. Get set for some real olde tyme
Maritime fiddlin'! It should be quite a bit of fun.
Sunday - June 13th, 2004
The last of the three workshops - Governor Rebuild - will start at approximately
9:00am and again run about 1 to 1-1/2 hours in duration. The final competition of
skill and not speed will start shortly after the end of the Workshop. This last
exercise will probably be the most difficult test of one's ability to work a Cub.
The Wagon Manouvering Competition is designed to test your skill in REVERSE!. The
object will be to back up a wagon between two other wagons, so that your wagon is
aligned with the other two wagons - parallel to and stopped even with the rear
of the other wagons. This one should be a lot of fun! Good thing we will not need
a drivers licence for this one!
Lunch will be a BBQ provided by The Kings County Beef 4-H Club. This will help
support the local 4-H Club and hopefully develope an interest in Antique Tractors
among the youth. It will be typical BBQ fare and reasonably priced.
After lunch, it will unfortunately be time to bid a fond adieu to all of our visitors
who are no longer just names on the forums, but friends whom we will miss dearly.
