SMOKER 1 574 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I didn't go last year and won't this year. They don't seem to be as exciting as they used to be. They were a great place to catch up on all the IH gossip 10 years ago and they used to have a lot more venders. As of late, they are more geared to seminars and I may be getting burnt out on them, too. jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The seminars are usually good and still plenty of gossip and BS to be had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KWRB 1,285 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd like to go. But it's a time off thing... What all is there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nepoweshiekfarmalls 2,058 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I really enjoyed Branson last year. Merk had a couple great seminars on Cub Cadets. Another gentleman talked about his families multi generation IH dealership. Auction was fun. Lots of folks to chat with lounging in the motel. Wife and I had a great time.

ihman1468 76 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 i was going to this years (2019) but when i called the motel for the special rate of $119.00 per night they told me those rooms are all sold out. The best rate they could give me is $286.00 per night so guess what i am not going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooter 14 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'm going on Friday and might go on Saturday, but I'm driving home, not that far of a commute for me. I've been to the one in Grand Rapids and one in NE corner of IN ( I think ) They were OK, you can only expect so much for being inside of a hotel conference room. Some nice tractors to look at and vendors selling parts/literature. I missed out on the lectures, but I have heard good things about them. If you're in SW MI, it's worth the drive for you to check out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
