Anthon Service Center

“Where’d everybody go?” Gator was hoping it was a two day event.

Wow, what a great day yesterday was! Gator would like to thank everyone who helped in any way to make his first tractor show a success! Thank you to Matt Weston for allowing us to use the area around his storage units! Thank you, Randy and Tammy Dau, for running the soft serve ice cream, (which was definitely a popular spot), to Patti's Pit Stop for their always amazing BBQ, to everyone who brought in tractors of all colors and shapes and sizes, to everyone who helped advertise and promote the event by distributing flyers and word of mouth, and of course to everyone who attended!

Gator was also happy to have his Partners for Patriots family there! Thank you to everyone who stopped to learn more about their amazing organization and to all who donated! It is all very much appreciated! To learn more or to find out other ways you can help, visit their website or page.

I unfortunately was unable to get many photos once the event got started, so please share your photos here!

And of course we will never forget how it all began. Nearly 30 years ago, the Anthon Service Center was started in May 1997 by Brandon Steinhoff (10-24-73 ~ 12-17-98). (See photos from previous posts with the tribute to Brandon that was on display yesterday.) It was the perfect place to host our first ever tractor show.... Oops, I mean, "Gator's" Tractor Show.

It was great seeing everyone! Thank you again!

Another John Deere arrived! In memory of Brandon Steinhoff (1973-1998). The Anthon Service Center opened in May 1997 and was operated by Brandon. ❤️

Only two days away, from 4:00 till 7:00 pm this Friday! Patti's Pit Stop will be here and we'll also have soft serve ice cream!

No entry fee and the ice cream is free, but if you want to donate, any money taken in for that will go to our friends at Partners for Patriots!

Thank you to everyone who has helped spread the word! Special thanks to John, Debbie and Mike O'Connell for putting up flyers at other towns and at the Woodbury County Fair! It happens to be Mike O'Connell's birthday Friday, so we all get to sing to him :)

We can't wait to see you Friday!
