(Ten Years of CTCC, Continued from page 1)
to watch the 23 acres of dirt fly. Enthusiasm ran rampant and a fall plow day was added in 1995. That year also provided the club with the first North West Two Cylinder EXPO in Chehalis, Washington. The club had a good showing with over twenty tractors in the exclusive north west John Deere event. Some of our members made us proud in the tractor pull and slow race. North West Two Cylinder EXPO was such a success that the event has been continued every two years since the founding 1995 year. And then there was the 1999 National Two Cylinder Club EXPO held in Missoula, Montana. Nine club tractors were present and nearly two dozen members attended. Ken Langel was a crowd pleaser when he started up the Waterloo Boy. A member hasn't exhibited since until the summer of 2002 when Paul Hieb and Allan Brinson hauled Paul's rare 1947 BWH to EXPO XII in Waterloo, Iowa. Way to go Paul! 2001 was the year of the John Deere at the Lynden P.S.A.T.&M.A. summer show. Tom Jensen was nominated show director and replicated a "30 years of the "D" display. 190 beautiful Deeres were exhibited. And then there are the local parades! Lynden Farmer's Day, Burlington Berry Dairy Days, Sedro Woolley Logger Rodeo parade, Arlington Forth of July parade. The Governor's Trophy and Best of Division are some the awards won by our parade participants. You Can't Celebrate without Food The Cascade Two Cylinder Club annual holiday potluck started in 1995 at the Alger Community Center. Like with many things, when you have good food and good talk the event grows and grows until you've outgrown your hall. In December 1998 the holiday potluck was moved to the Bay View Community Center where we have 130 people in attendance. Besides good food, the club sponsors a big raffle, door prizes and entertainment by professional musicians. One member says that the annual club dues is worth just the holiday potluck dinner. It would be criminal if we didn't recognize Harold Eastbury and Loren Dahl for preparing great rib sticking lunches at all of our plow days and overseeing the holiday potluck! Keep it up boys!
