TEDTEA 39th Annual Show - October 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2010Featuring Allis-Chalmers Tractors and Stickney Engines
The grounds have been mowed the food is cooking and milk for the ice cream has been delivered. All we need is you and your displays to put on TEDTEA’s best show yet. Here are a couple of tips to make your’s and everyone else’s show a pleasant experience.
• If you are an exhibitor, you can bypass any car lines for the visitor gate and head to the North exhibitor entrance.
• Because of all the rain this year, the mosquitoes are more abundant than normal so we recommend any bug spray containing DEET and citronella candles should you be camping.
• Have your Membership card or new membership form (plus club dues) and exhibitor forms ready at the gate. These forms can be found at www.tedtea.org.
• Be Patient in the registration line and at the loading docks.• Most of all, be Safe and use common sense judgement in all your show activities.
The next club meeting occurs at the annual evening meal Friday of the show.

September Meeting Minutes
Darwin Joseph Ivicic, or “Monk” to those who knew him best, passed away at the age of 65 on Sunday July 11, 2010. He is survived by his sons Nathan and Nicho-las Ivicic of Holland, Texas and his sister Gladys Wood of Powder Springs, Georgia. Although Monk’s time on this earth was un-expectedly cut short by cancer, he packed more life into his 65 years than most could in several lifetimes. He will be sorely missed by many and will undoubtedly never be
forgotten. Monk was a life-long resident of the Holland community having grown up on a farm in the area. He was a volunteer fireman for the Holland community for over 20 years. Monk’s passion for antique tractors, engines and farm implements led to his heavy involvement with the Texas Early Day Tractor and Engine Association of which he was a life long member and past President of the club as well as charismatic show and parade announcer, even having been referred to as the “voice of the tractor show”. Monk was a human dynamo and unforgettable character. His charisma and humor drew even complete strangers towards him and his friends and family even closer. His legacy will live on through his many contributions of service and countless stories of his actions and adventures that will be shared for years to come. Many items in Monk’s collection are for sale by his sons and can be found at monkstractors.webs.com.
In Remembrance...
