Ralph and Pat Mangum, owners of the John Deere dealerships in Delta, Montrose and Grand Junction, hosted their 50th year of being in business on February 7th.
Several of the local farmers were asked to bring in their tractors so visitors could admire the 50 years of being green.
Terry was asked to bring in his 530
And the 730
We have others but these are representative of 50 years.)
I also had to get a picture of Pat Mangum with the John Deere Porcelain dolls Terry’s mother made for her.

My husband used to have John Deere tractors. He would fix them up and paint them like new, then sell them. Then he wished he had them all back.
I will have to show him these pictures.
Love the dolls too. Terry’s Mother did a great job on them!

Some very fond memory’s of the many “John Deere Day’s” attended when I was a kid. It was just as good as the new cars for that year.
