"Gathering of the Green
Winter Fling"

A bi-annual nationwide conference for
John Deere collectors, restorers & enthusiasts.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS 2004 EVENT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IS STILL HERE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU MISSED!

     All John Deere collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts from across the United States and Canada are invited to attend the 3rd “Gathering of the Green” conference to be held in Moline this coming March, 2004. The first two were remarkable successes, and initial plans indicate that this one will be another memorable event.
     Plan now to join us as we gather to attend workshops, evening programs, tour John Deere factories, participate in special activities for spouses, visit the vendors, attend the fun auction, enjoy the banquet, and help us celebrate and honor JOHN DEERE on his 200th birthday. As in the past, the conference will offer you an excellent opportunity to learn new restoration techniques, pick up new ideas, have your questions answered, share tips that have helped you solve restoration problems, visit with the vendors, and to just enjoy being with people who have the same interests as you. So, whether you have one or a dozen or more tractors, or you don’t have a tractor but just like old two-cylinders, plan to join us in Moline.

JOHN DEERE COLLECTORS CENTER
MEMORABILIA CONFERENCE:

     The Collectors Center will host their annual Memorabilia Conference on March 9 and 10, 2004, just prior to the opening of the “Gathering of the Green” Conference. Memorabilia “buffs” can easily attend both conferences with only one trip to Moline. Put the dates on your calendar. E-mail johndeerecollectorscenter@johndeere.com or call 800-240-5265 for details.
     If you are a memorabilia collector, please visit the JD Heritage web site.    JD Heritage is a place where collectors can meet and exchange ideas about memorabilia, tractors and techniques that are related to farming.
    If you like John Deere Model B's, please visit Retiredtractors.com, the home page of the webmaster of your "Gathering" website.
