After today’s parade event the crowd hung around for a mid afternoon outdoor street concert. This stage is set up right outside the Gaylord Entertainment Center right off Broadway street.
Watching The Parade
The parade got underway and the New Holland/FFA/Michael Peterson/Chevy float was one of the main attractions.
Other Parade Participants
Tractors weren’t the only vehicles in today’s parade.
Posing On The Tractor
Just prior to the start of today’s parade Michael Peterson posed for a number of pictures. I’ve got them all and will make them part of my end of the event photo album.
New Holland And CMA
Here you can see that New Holland and the Country Music Association are tied together. This tractor will be signed by the participants in Sunday’s Michael Peterson Celebrity Boomer Tractor Race.
First Interview With Michael
Before things kicked off today Michael Peterson checked out the tractors. Here he’s looking over the New Holland TZ22D which will be part of Sunday’s big race. I’ll have more on this later.
FFA Parades With Michael
Michael Peterson posed with the FFA members who took part in today’s parade.
Michael And Tractor Men
Michael Peterson, country star, makes friends wherever he goes. Prior to today’s parade I caught him with James McCormick, Sales Mgr. for Nashville Tractor (l) (Michael’s center) and New Holland area Field Sales Representative, Mitch Poole (r).
New Holland Tractors Arrive
Okay. I’m back. Had my steak and it was awesome. Now it’s time to catch you up on the New Holland happenings here at CMA Music Fest.
Going To Be A Fan At This Fair
Hello from Nashville. This blogging experience began today at the Country Music Association building where I picked up my media credentials. From there it was off to the parade and I’ll have many more posts coming your way this evening, including audio and video.
