About US
The Central Maryland Antique Tractor Club is a nonprofit organization founded on September 1st, 1977. The club is defined in the by-laws as a corporation that shall be composed of members having the desire to promote the restoration, preservation, and use of antique tractors and machinery in activities which are educational in nature and the sport of tractor pulling, and improving the standard of community through providing education, interest and general participation in these activities. Today the club consists of over one hundred members, headed by our President -Jeremiah Herbst, Vice President - Jad Drake, Secretary - Patricia Herbst, Treasurer - Carla Brown, and the Board of Directors - Hatton Brown Jr., Henry Brunnett, Glenn Stunkel, and Jr. Director Kevin Muller Jr. Every year we hold our annual Toy Show & Auction in February and summer Tractor Show in June. The Proceeds the club brings in through our events are donated back to local 4H and FFA. A scholarship foundation was started to support students in remembrance of two of our past members Dave Boyer and Clayton Lenhart and Yarnell Wastler. Each year we donate money to applicants that are sponsored by one of our club members and reviewed by a committee. We keep the fund going through donations made by the community and through a cake auction held at our June Tractor show. The club also sponsors the Walter Eaves and McComas Albaugh Memorial Restoration Award. Each year club members enter pictures of either tractors or gas engines that are in need of restoration and at one of the shows the entrees are judged and the winners are announced. There is also the Joe Ferrell/ Yarnell P. Wastler Memorial Award given out every year to a club member voted for by other club members for being the most sportsman like and helpful through the year, the over all good guy or girl. For those first year pullers, The Bill Anders Memorial is awarded to one of the new pullers, whether it is a new club member or an old club member that decided to pull. For those with best pulling record, The Bill Barnes Memorial award is given to the ones with the best pulling record of the year.
