Day 2: Poppy, Tucker and Oliver were sad to hear they missed the CP Holiday Train this year, so they decided to make their own in the #grainacademey. Don’t think it was quite the same effect, but they enjoyed it. #cpholidaytrain #christmastrain #12daysofchrstimas #day2 #christmas #christmasspirit

Day 1: The Mice heard about this writing letters to Santa ordeal and have now insisted they write their own using the IBM Electric II typewrite, using the different options to change their font style, so like snowflakes, no two letters are the same. Why not use a regular computer? Well, where would the fun in that be? #letterstosanta #12daysofchristmas #Day1 #christams #typewriter #miceofpa #kidsofpa #kidsofpioneeracres #pioneeracres

Earlier this year, Pioneer Acres became the site of a photo shoot for @calgaryfirefighters @dominik_friede @butterbee.media. This was in support of the Calgary Fire Fighters Toy Association (you can learn more about that great community organization right here: https://www.calgary.ca//calgary-firefighters-toy-associati). They took some drone footage for us that day, too. We think it looks pretty great. Sadly, this important event was cancelled a few days ago. You can see that story here: https://globalnews.ca//calgary-firefighters-toy-associati/. We are really glad we had the opportunity to build a relationship with a new community partner, and we are looking forward to a happier future in 2021.

Tractor Trivia Tuesdays: On the Case Well, even though I thought it would be one and done after that first wild week, we got feedback that people were enjoying Tractor Trivia. Some of you pointed out that there is not a lot to do right now and wanted us to keep going. Over on Instagram, @snarkbusters made this comment: All that work we put into Tractor Trivia for it to be thrown to the side!! Shame... but yes, it was a lot. Disappointed you’re showing John Deere afore the /O...BVIOUSLY/ superior brand, Case . Oh, well, we cannot let a challenge like that go unanswered! So, we have two Case trivia questions for you to comment on, and there is a bonus question in Instagram and Facebook stories that you can see the correct answer to right away. Tractor fans start your engines. Here are your tractor trivia questions for the week. 1. True or false: J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company and J. I. Case Plow Works Company were the same company. 2. Name the town near Racine, WI where J. I. Case wanted to build his first manufacturing plant but was refused water rights. The comment section awaits! We reveal the correct answers on Friday and thank you to Josh for inspiring this post. If you are enjoying the photographs of the beautiful Case 500 attached to this post, you can click this link to read an article that we wrote about this tractor. It belongs to one of our members, Richard Sharp, and we had a great interview with him this summer that we think you will enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/pioneer.acres/posts/10157245669402050
