A group from 3000toys will have an area there for you to come by, talk with us, and have a look at our awesome stuff!  We're also really looking forward to introducing two NEW custom trucks during the show: 


First of all, there's the Show Truck: a Truckers Jamboree International LoneStar with Dry Van Trailer in 1/64 scale by DCP.


Also, we'll have a Habitat for Humanity Kenworth W900 with Dry Van Trailer in 1/87 scale by Tonkin Replicas.

Fun for Everyone


The Summer Farm Toy Show is always a good time.  Held at the National Farm Toy Museum every summer, it attracts farm toy collectors and dealers from around the U.S.  Thousands of farm machinery collectibles and memorabilia are gathered into the small town of Dyersville, Iowa for two fun-packed days.  Lovers of all things agriculture fill up the museum and the nearby high school with their toys.  The show also offers activities for the kids, specifically the classic tractor-pull races, one of which I won when my family went up there years ago.  



This year's Summer Farm Toy Show will be held on June 3 & 4.  While we won't be attending, we encourage you to go!  It's sure to be a great time!
