Massanutten Antique Tractor Club

01/28/2026

Hear Ye, hear ye !!! The membership meeting scheduled for Saturday, January 31st is cancelled until further notice. Too cold to try to heat the building, too dangerous for most of us to be out in these temperatures and trying to walk in the snow and ice. The weather out there is frightful!!!

01/24/2026

Hope everyone is stocked up and hunkered down for the soon to arrive snow/ice/sleet/etc. weather. Stay home, stay safe and warm. Let us all keep in mind those who have to be out in all kinds of weather - our first responders, those who plow, salt and sand our roads and the linemen who risk life and limb trying to keep our power up and running.

This is a reminder to members of the club meeting changes for the next few months. I believe that all members have received a notice in the mail also.

As we have done in the past, it was decided once again to change both the days and the times for the club meetings for December of 2025, and January, February and March of 2026 from our usual day and time of Wednesdays at 19:00 hours, (7PM), to Saturdays at 13:00 hours, (1PM). The meetings will be held at our museum building located on the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds. The meetings for these four months are as follows.

Due to Christmas, the December meeting has been moved to January 03, 2026 at 13:00 hours, (1PM). The January meeting will be held on January 31, 2026 at 13:00 hours, (1PM). The February meeting will be held on February 28, 2026 at 13:00 hours, (1PM). The March 2026 meeting will be held on March 28, 2026 at 13:00 hours, (1PM).
As usual, our meetings are open to anyone who shares an interest in antique farm tractors, antique gasoline engines, antique farm equipment.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings. Remember those who cannot celebrate,

She was a big supporter of the tractor club, from it's beginning when the love of her life, Bruce and she joined, right up to just before she passed. She was famous for bringing a birthday cake and ice cream to the EOTF for Bruce and continued after to honor him. She also supported the club with our building project - our Agriculture Museum. She will be sadly missed by all of us.
