Plowing Into The New Year
This div will be replaced
The New Year offers a wide range of exciting new opportunities in farm toy collecting for Toy Tractor Times readers. This month we kick off 2009 with a review of the 2009 Toy Tractor Times Toy Talk plowing contest.

We also wrap up our extensive coverage of the 2008 National Farm Toy Show with three videos on Toy Tractor Times TV with two 1/16 AGCO history related displays and T.T.T. member Brad Underwood's display.

Stefanie and I look forward to seeing many of you at the 2009 St. Louis Farm Toy Show January 30-February 1. The 2009 Gateway Mid America Toy Show will be held at the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet Hotel, 191 Westport Plaza, St. Louis, Mo. The Toy Tractor Times table will be located in front of the St. Moriz boardroom where VanKley Farm Toys will be set up. Stop by our table to see the unveiling of the 2009 Toy Tractor Times tractor and get great deals on the 1/64 Plainfield truck and other items.


We hope to see you in St. Louis.


Until Next Times......

Jason and Stefanie Hasert
