It's The Nadas!

One of the state's
most popular bands will be the concert headliner for Manchester's
Ragbrai event. The Nadas will perform Friday night, July 30th.
The Nadas are a group of rockers from Des Moines. Over the past sixteen
years, The Nadas have built a strong community of fans and together
they have sold more than 125,000 albums through their own Authentic
Records, including 2003’s Transceiver and 2005’s Listen Through The
Static, both produced by Todd and Toby Pipes of Deep Blue Something, as
well as 2007’s The Ghosts Inside These Halls.
Now, with Almanac, their seventh LP, they are confident they will
continue to grow their community, bringing in new fans and new
beginnings. The Nadas will perform at Manchester's Ragbrai event late
Friday night in the main entertainment area near the Delaware County
Courthouse, though the exact time have not been set.
Along with The Nadas, the Entertainment Committee also plans to hold at
least two other concerts in the afternoon and evening. More details
will be announced when those performances are finalized.
Big Bud Staying at Heartland Acres
Posted

July
2010
“Big Bud 16V - 747”,
the world’s largest tractor, will be staying at Heartland Acres through
August 22.
Arriving in April, Big Bud has representatives of Heartland Acres in
Independence expecting big things for visitors who come to the
agriculture museum. “All of us who have worked to get “Big Bud”
to come to Independence are very excited”, stated Heartland Acres Board
member Craig Johnson. “This is a great opportunity to bring more
visitors to Independence and Northeast Iowa.”
Built in Havre, Montana in 1977, “Big Bud” was 1 of over 500 “Big Bud”
brand tractors that were built by Ron Harmon and the crew of the
Northern Manufacturing Company. “Big Bud” is the only 16V-747
model that was produced and was specifically designed to produce higher
horsepower to deep-plow cotton fields for the Rossi Brothers near
Bakersfield, California. The tractor was built to produce 760
horsepower using a 16-cylinder Detroit Diesel engine but has operated
at 980 horsepower. “Big Bud” measures 27 feet long, 20 feet wide, and
14 feet tall and weighs over 130,000 pounds.
“Big Bud” will be making its way to Iowa for the first time in history
and with tractor enthusiasts located throughout the Midwest, an
increase of tourists to Independence is almost certain. “Big Bud
is known globally so this is not only an exciting opportunity for our
area, but for the entire Midwest”, commented Heartland Acres Events
Manager Mike McGill. “We have reached out to the state tourism
office as well as over twenty other organizations that we partner with
in ag tourism to help us as we plan for Big Bud’s
arrival.”
As a member benefit, Chamber members across the state will receive a
discount on adult admission to Heartland Acres while Big Bud is being
displayed. “Participating organizations and their members will
receive $2 off the adult admission by showing our staff this article, a
membership card or by simply stating that they’re visiting as a member
of the Chamber of Commerce”, added McGill.
Visitor’s to Heartland Acres will be able to see “Big Bud 16V-747” from
April 12th until July 31st; making it the longest stop at any site in
its tour history.
For more information about “Big Bud” and Heartland Acres visit www.heartlandacresusa.com
or call 319-332-0123.
