Nothing Runs Like a Deere Bingo

Hello Bingo Team

It was the mid to late 19th century when Canada and the United States expanded settlement and agriculture through the western plains.

Our Bingo honours the man who was born on February 7 in the year of 1804. A man who started his working life as a black smith who noticed that the cast iron plows did not do a very good job in the stiff clay soils. He came up with better plow blades made of polished steel which cut through the soil much more efficiently (the self-scouring plow). His implement was known as the "plow that broke the plains." John Deere was the founder of the largest farm and construction equipment manufacturer in the world.

This bingo honours the man who is responsible for spreading the green and yellow machines of steel throughout the world. Feel free to wear green and yellow accessories or clothing for the bingo. I am told that Carol Rock has a closet full of the stuff.

see you there
