Ode to Gathering of the Green!

We remember the old John Deere’s
Along with the new
The Gathering of the Green
Was green through and through
Displays and vendors
Vied for attention and time
Enthusiasts wondered about
Considering how to spend their hard earned dime
Much was educational
Learning restoration tips
Visiting with others
Hearing stories from their lips
The days go so quickly
Reminiscing about the past
Gathering of the Green
Isn’t long enough, it doesn’t last
Look at the pictures
Take out the calendar and mark it down
For 2016
When the next gathering will come to town!
