12th Annual

History of Tractors: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER

Tuesday, March 16 2010

1:30-3:30pm

Speaker: Conrad Fiskness

What an incredible success! This year's History of Tractors program attendance broke our previous attendance record by over 100 attendees. Every chair & spot to stand was taken with people lined up in the hallway to hear speaker Conrad Fiskness' presentation. Staff counted over 150 cars in the parking lots; many others told us that they wanted over an hour in our library just for the chance to talk with the crowd after the presentation, as there was nowhere else to stand or sit but they weren't leaving!

Special thanks to Conrad Fiskness for his incredible presentation. Conrad explained not only the rise of International Harvester but the history behind the movement towards farm machinery in general. His extensive knowledge of IH, paired with his personal love of the letter series and excellent photos, was exactly what the crowd came to hear. WCHS President Leander Wetter gave a brief presentation on the last number series of IH Tractors and touched on the demise of the organization.

Thanks to everyone who attended. For a slideshow of the event, simply click on the link below and enjoy!
