Met a New Friend
« on: August 19, 2008, 09:18:53 AM »
My wife, Patty and I went to the Buckley, MI "Old Steam Engine and Tractor Show" last week.  We met up with fellow member chip-don, Don Gilmore and his wife, Carol, and had a nice visit.  Don and I are talking about the PD shoot next Juine.

The show was fantastic!!!  Almost 1000 tractors and God only knows how many steam engines, plus a huge flea market.  We got there Wednesday afternoon and lieft Sunday, and still didn't see it all.  Not much there for shooters, found one jar in the flea market with a mixture of assorted cartridges that looked older than me for twice the price new.

There's so much there, the Forge, Foundry, Print Shop,

I was raised on those old engine shows. My dad collected and refurbished old hit and miss engines. I've got a Galloway 5 horse, a Malilleau and Conrey 3 horse and a New Holland 5 horse
