’
the fairground organ proved popular with
the youngsters. There was loads to see
as well as the tractors, including an old
steam baler, vintage wagons and even a
showman caravan. Much food and ale
were consumed. A special big thank you
goes to Simon Watkins for providing the
generators free of charge. Steven was
keen to look after all the vintage tractor
drivers and provide their food, Haigh’s
Farm Shop at Mirfield provided luscious
beef and ham sandwiches, pork pies
and sausages rolls, fifty of each and they
wouldn’t let Steven pay for them!
The attendance on the day was excel-
lent, 1700 car parking tickets were sold;
the overall attendance was around
4000, which is amazing for a first event.
These numbers meant that there will be
around £7000 pounds to be split between
Kirkwood Hospice and The Yorkshire Air
NUT & BOLT STOCKISTS
Ambulance, which is the figure Steven had
in mind. He did say that if it went well it
would be an annual event – so there you
have it, planning has already started for
2020, with people already committing to
come again.
Farmers Mart will be doing show preview
for as well to support it, making it an
even bigger event. I asked Steven if there
are any changes planned, “ Yes, I think
we will all have walkie talkies so we can
keep in touch better, also we will have a
marquee for people to shelter in should
it rain again” – Yes, forgot to mention that
the heavens did open late in the day, so
after the beer tent was filled to capacity it
did mean some people went a little early.
All in all, a fantastic day was had by all,
Steven and family were justifiably proud
of themselves. So, here’s to a great 2020
Tractor Fest!
