Expect to have fun.
Expect to see all kinds of people, and make new friends.
With that in mind, don't be offended if someone who doesn't know better lets their child crawl all over your tractor.
99% know better or will ask if a child can sit on the seat for a picture but if the one person who lets their kids run wild and unattended bothers you then leave the tractor home or you will find yourself babysitting the tractor all weekend and won't enjoy anything.
Take the key, turn off the gas, unhook the coil wire or whatever for safetys sake, then you've done all you can do in case someone gets on and pushes buttons and pulls levers. Go have fun and just know if you come back in a few hours and find a scratch on the fuel tank, that its all part of the game. Don't be upset, just know your appreciated by the other 99% of the attendes. If you can't take that chance, then leave the tractor home. I hope you never do.
As far as judging tractors, most people in this hobby want only to share their machines with others and don't want ANY competition or someone else judging their family heirloom or Grandads pride and joy over paint jobs or matching tires etc. You will find machines from total rust to better than factory paint. To each their own but appreciated by all is the common thought at most shows. Those with tractor judging don't seem to keep people bringing their tractors back the next year. My 2 cents.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
