You are cordially invited to
The Great Hog Oiler Roundup

at the
46th Annual
Badger Steam and Gas Engine Club
Show
Baraboo, Wisconsin

August 21, 22, & 23, 2009

Please join us at this reunion.  Hog oiler collectors all over the country are being invited to this event, so we all have the opportunity to meet with friends not seen in several years. We encourage you to bring your hog oilers, salesman samples, related advertising, and other hog related items to this show.  We will have a reserved shaded area for our exhibits. 

The Badger Steam and Gas Engine Club has its own 146 acre show grounds, located between Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells.  The area is rich in natural beauty, and there are many attractions, restaurants, motels and campgrounds nearby to provide entertainment and comfort. Bring your family, because there are plenty of things for them to do and see in the area if they are not as keen on your hobby as you are!   Some attractions in the immediate area include Circus World Museum, International Crane Foundation, several water parks and other attractions in the Dells. 

Our show has grown since we have moved on to our own land.  The 2009 show will feature Case, and one of our members will be completing the restoration of a 110 hp Case steam traction engine for this show.  Last year, Club members worked very hard to complete the Fuller and Johnson Museum for the show.  We have a permanent restroom with showers for campers.  There is food on the grounds, for breakfast, lunch and an early supper.  There are many chairs and benches distributed around the grounds, and shady areas to sit for a spell.  A free shuttle service travels around the grounds during the show.  Handicap parking is available near the front gate.  Handicap permits are available for those who need to use personal transport inside the grounds e.g. golf carts, etc. 

Primitive camping (no electrical or water hookups) is available on the show grounds for exhibitors only.  It is $10 for Wednesday thru Sunday.  The camping contact is Grace Schellenberger (608) 356-9221 or click here for online information.

Exhibitors are admitted free.  There is always night-time security patrolling the grounds at our show, but there will be additional security solely for this exhibit as well.
