Farmall Promenade Farewell Tour2008 Schedule
The Farmall Promenaders had a busy 2007 summer season with performances
in Nebraska and Minnesota plus several closer to home in Iowa.
They also put on some performances in their home court of Main Street Nemaha for tour buses. These groups from around Sac and nearby counties brought one or more busloads of people to swell the town for a few hours of summer fun.
The Farmall Promenaders put on their full performance to the enjoyment of the crowd on lawn chairs. These informal shows gave the audience more opportunity to interact with the drivers at the end of the performance.  Hometown performances also allowed those from nearby care centers the opportunity to get a front-row seat right outside their bus door including one of the original founders, Cecil Boeckman, of the Square-dancing tractors from the 1950s shown at right.  Another original founder was seen at the Early
Quasquicentennial where he was watching the Farmall Promenader's perform to a
large crowd in Early, Iowa July 21, 2007. Bill Smith, shown at left, left his legacy to this son
Lynn
who has carried on the Square-dancing tractor tradition.A brisk 2005 season culminated with a benefit performance for the victims of Hurricane Katrina held in Spencer during the Clay County Fair. They scheduled three shows in one day to raise funds to be donated to the people who lost loved ones and homes in Louisiana and neighboring states as a result of the hurricane.  From the Des Moines Register Nov. 4, 2001: "The Farmall Promenade clippings and posters in Hazel's Cafe in Nemaha are a sign that there is still life in this once-bustling town. . ." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
