International Harvester Scouts and Trucks of Oregon (IHSTO) announces that
The Great Western Binder Bee 2010 edition is set for July 16 thru 18, 2010. As always, the venue will be Western Antique Powerland in Brooks, Oregon. This is the sixth year for this event to be hosted by Western Antique Power, Inc. along with Powerland-affiliated member organizations.
The theme selected for the 2010 event is...“International Harvester Powers The Family".
For the first time ever, we're adding a Truck and 4x4 Swap Meet to the Binder Bee as an added attraction for participants and visitors on Friday and Saturday.
Friday, July 16 is slated as vendor set-up and show participant move-in and meet and greet. In the best IHSTO tradition, we'll host a potluck dinner in the RV camping area for all registrants at 6pm.
A full schedule of participant meet and greet, Show and Shine, children's activities, a Parade of Power for show registrants, and a catered participant barbecue dinner and raffle will fill Saturday’s agenda.
IH vehicles and IH-related products will be on display throughout the weekend and a judging team will select the outstanding display examples for awards, highlighted by the Ernie Bisio Award which honors Oregon’s own Ernie Bisio who is a living legend in the International Harvester world!
Sunday, July 18 activities will include a Trail Ride for off road-capable vehicles led by the IHSTO Trail Boss Team, a continuation of the Show and Shine, and show participant visitation.
“Vendor Village” will include many specialty parts and service providers who are major supporters of International Harvester enthusiasts and end users around the country. Many other regional IH organizations will be in attendance representing agricultural machinery, construction equipment, household appliances, and stationary engines and equipment.
Participation in "Kidzone" in past years has been a show high point! We now have children participating who have literally grown up having fun at the Bee and have adopted Willow Creek Railway as their own special place to hang out.
And check out all the attractions presented by the many Powerland member organizations which are available to visitors during the Bee:

Plenty of camping space will be available along with accommodations for RV parking with water and electricity (no sewage hookups though). The campground will be available for Thursday afternoon (July 15) arrival if appropriate reservations are made in advance.
