Jammer is the official
Tractor Jam mascot, and
he has vowed not to move
from his place in the Gorman Heritage Farm lobby until we reach our
sponsorship goal of $20,000.
We're well on our way, so
won't you please do your part to help us achieve this very important goal.
We'll fill in the color
blanks as sponsorship donations come in, and post updated photos
regularly.
Why is Tractor Jam important?
When siblings Jim and Dorothy Gorman donated their
beloved family farm for public use in 1996, they included the equipment
Jim used on the farm. The great part about that donation is that we
have a collection of vintage Oliver tractors, and the bad news is
that we have a collection of old Oliver tractors! These machines
have reached the age where they should really be retired and preserved for
their historic value, yet we need to keep them in daily operation.
The race is on to raise money for newer equipment before we lose these
treasures of Americana altogether.
How can
my company benefit from Tractor Jam sponsorship?
In addition to being recognized as a company that truly
understands and values the mission of Gorman Heritage Farm and the
importance of preserving the agricultural history of our region, your
company may receive:
Inclusion in our publicity materials including posters,
radio advertising, t-shirts and event signage.
Sponsors at a level of $1000 or higher are invited to have
a booth at the event, giving them direct contact with an estimated 2500-3000
community-minded country music fans. These sponsors will also receive
pavilion tickets to Tractor Jam.
Major sponsors at the $5000 level will be invited to place
their logo banner on the Tractor Jam stage.
How can
I support Tractor Jam?

enjoying Tractor Jam on August 1, there are several ways you can support
Tractor Jam:
