OUR
FUTURE STARTS WITH TODAYS KIDS
In
2008 a program was established called the U6DER 21 CLUB for kids ages
5 to 21. It was renamed
YOU6G
COLLECTORS in 2010 and we currently have 19 young people involved
ages 5 to 21, both boys
and
girls. They have their own projects that involve antique farm related
items. They help us during the year
and
at our show in September doing different projects and displays, while
working with other club members as
a
team effort. We have a special club logo just for them to wear while
at the shows. We are proud of these
young
people and believe that they are the FUTURE OF OUR HOBBY A6D OUR
CLUB.
If
you have a child that would like to be involved here are the
requirements:
1)
Boys and girls from the ages of 5 through 15 will be eligible.
2)
They must have a family member that is currently a member of the
AETA.
3)
They must own their displays and be Ag-related. Farm machinery, farm
tools, hit-miss engines, lawn
and
garden tractors (pre-1984), farm tractors and horse equipment are
acceptable.
The
club will furnish one lamented ID tag with the Childs name and city
and state.

ID tags can be purchased at CREATIVE IMAGES in Geneseo, IL.

our club.)
We
have organized a special pre-show event on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011,
the day before our 3-day fall
farm
show begins. This day is reserved for our local schools and groups so
we can offer them a better and more
personal
learning experience. We will have active displays and demonstrations
of farm related equipment and
activities
dating back to the early 1900s.
