I can remember joining my folks and grandparents when I was a little guy since my grandfather was a real lover of steam powered anything. These days seeing the great grandsons and granddaughters with their bibs on and big work gloves working at building pressure in the boilers makes me smile....the tradition hasn't died yet.

In one arena they had rigged hoists for the nets. I think they did it just for the joy of tinkering with motors, pulleys, ropes, chains, and hooks.

Our VJMC group had some bikes on the grounds over the weekend......I can imagine a Triumph stopping for a few moments in front of that sign for a quick photo.Coop a.k.a.

We have a homesteader days here each year, my Dad used to love and come see the old tractors, but it is nothing the scale of your show which looks a little more permanent and has no ladies of the night driving golf carts!
