Welcome to IH Collectors - Chapter 17 - Central Pa.
Join us in our activities to enjoy, promote, preserve and exhibit the history, products, literature and memorabilia of IHC. Our chapter holds an annual show & flea market "Red Power Showdown", an annual banquet & auction, an annual picnic, and supports many regional fairs and community parades. Our members are a great resource of technical information for your needs in collection, restoration, renovation and operation of IHC equipment. Annual membership for 2010 ($25) includes national membership as well. See or call Ben Trapani for membership applications.

Special Events and Meetings:

Updates on the acquisition of the Bartlow Prototype Dealership Building and its conversion to a museum will be given at the March meeting at the Bartlow dealership building in Millville.  You will receive a letter in early March giving details.  A detailed review of renovations to the Bartlow Building to prepare it for its new role as an IH museum will be given by the Operations Committee.  Volunteers will be needed to help with the renovations during the scheduled work sessions.

The Spring "Pancake and Sausage Dinner" at the Bartlow Museum will be on April 24, 2010 from 3 PM to 7 PM.

'07 Red Power Roundup show books are still available at the meeting - cost is $22.00.  2010 dues are due in March and will  include the local and national IHCC national dues for a total of $25.00.

The 2007 Red Power Round-up was a resounding success with over 1,460 total exhibits of which 1,204 were tractors (including Cub Cadets).  Weather cooperated nicely after a windy thunderstorm opening day evening.  Photos and articles are available in both the "Red Power" magazine and in "Harvester Highlights" as well as on-line.

The Chapter was unsuccessful in its application to host the 2012 Red Power Round-up and will try again for a future year.
