Stopped by the show on Saturday, this was the third year I attended. It's never a big show but one thing I do like about it is that's very relaxed, kids running around everywhere on modified lawn tractors, people touring around on their tractors and no one seems to be hurt, killed or even concerned.
Did you check inside the big white tent? Off to one side was Ed Irwin, he's a model engine builder and his models are something else to behold. He buys the basic castings as a kit but everything else he builds himself right down the to the spark plugs and magnetos. He had a steam engine mounted on a rail car that I didn't see last year but didn't get a chance to talk to him and find out if it was a new addition or not.
My daughter wanted to look at the animals and while she was looking at them I was looking at the big steam engine that's sitting on the side of the main road in. An old guy came up to me and started telling my about the 1/8th model he's building of this tractor in his basement. You sure do meet some interesting people at these kind of fairs.
