Early last winter, I shared the story of my son’s toy tractor collection, which he comes by honestly, judging by my husband’s toy tractor collection.
I’m always in search of a better way to display them, so I asked for your ideas — and boy, did you deliver! For the next few weeks, ideas poured in from all across the Midwest. And what a delight.
Bruce Ellison, Loves Park, Ill., wrote in that his son wanted nothing but toy tractors, which meant every gift-giving occasion involved toys. The family scoured farm shows like Husker Harvest Days for new and unique models, and on every vacation, they stopped at equipment dealerships to see if there was anything he didn’t have, “which thrilled our daughter,” Ellison writes.
It's a fun hobby for a lot of folks in farm country, including fellow editor Tom Bechman, who shared his own story in response to mine.
