April Grams serves as a marketing specialist for Dichtomatik Americas of Shakopee, Minnesota, a manufacturer of pipe seals used in the food industry and other sectors. An experienced website designer, April Grams also handles web-based marketing for the Orange Spectacular, which gathers together owners of tractors made by the Allis-Chalmers company. The title of the event refers to the color of modern-day Allis-Chalmers equipment.
Sponsoring the 30th annual spectacular is the Upper Midwest A-C Club, which preserves the company’s legacy. Advertised as the world’s biggest event of its kind, the 2021 edition will be held July 23-25 at the McLeod County Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, Minnesota.
Whether they are customers or members of the public, visitors will be able to take in field demonstrations, seminars, and tractor parades on Saturday and Sunday morning. A tractor pull is in the works, and attendees will be able to drive tractors under supervision. One highlight is the raffle prize, a 1960 Allis-Chalmers D-14 complete with a dirt scoop. For the kids, a WD-45 pedal tractor will also be given away. For more details, please visit orangespectacular.com/.
