September is already here and the countdown to JP’s 6th Midwest Cub-Arama has begun. Hopefully you have noticed the bright banners that are hanging on the lamppost around the Court Square as well as down North Main St. Tomorrow marks three weeks until the set up day, but don’t be surprised to see trailers full of tractors rolling into town even earlier in the week. Set up day is Thursday, September 27th and the two full show days are Friday, September 28th and Saturday, September 29th.

This year’s show is looking to be another amazing event. Just to give you a taste of what to expect, here are a few of this year’s highlights.

HUNDREDS of International Harvester/Farmall Cub and Cub Cadets from all over the U.S. and Canada. Also, don’t forget that ANY IH item is welcome to show this year in any running condition.
