The latest winter project of my husband John Hodges. You come up with a name for it! In the background, some nice wooden handles for sale.

Much appreciation for Lisa Watson for doing the time and record keeping of the tractor events and to Lindsey Watson and Angie Brown for 'fashioning' the award ribbons.

We are striving to do more family-type activities and trying to work with members scheduling meetings around other engine shows that they attend. Our annual club picnic was held in September. We had a good turnout of families and even better of food and fellowship. This year's train ride was in October with Cass Railroad at Whittaker Station in West Virginia. I thought Friday night at Snow Shoe was a little windy; however, Saturday was the most perfect autumn day. It was an absolutely gorgeous day for a train ride! Our group spent Saturday night locally and started out Sunday morning fairly early for more sightseeing and some serious flea market hopping before going our separate ways. It was great!

Many thanks to Ronnie and Brenda White for being our guides.

Look for our 2000 show to be advertised as being two days, July 28 and 29. Don't worry that things will change. The show grounds will open Wednesday morning. Thursday will still be the setup day, the show will be Friday and Saturday, and on Sunday we will still have our church service followed by 'breaking camp.' So, for some good times in high places, a relaxed casual, laid-back atmosphere and friendly people, load your engines, pack your bags, grab your camera and take the high road for a great vacation, after making motel reservations! Come join us for this summer's show because too much fun is never enough when it comes to playing with or discussing engines and old farm machinery.

For more show information see page 548 and 190 of 2000 Steam and Gas Show Directory and/or the month of July of 'Old Farm Days Show Calendar 2000.'
