The backbone of our Model Corner is Cliff Eichelburger of Sandwich. Cliff keeps trying to corner the steam model crown for himself, and I think he's succeeding with 96 models. Gas models were also up with 34. They must be easier to handle when it's hot!

Our raffle engine, a 1? HP Sandwich, was won by Frank Bogden of Sugar Grove, IL. Frank and his boys have been tractor exhibitors for several years with some good-looking John Deeres. Now he has another color of green to look after.

Our barbed wire, corn hooks and pegs, and farm toys got to move right into the middle of the show as the Fair Board saw fit to build a new building right where it worked out for us.

For our 1989 show, we are looking for items made in Sandwich and plan on a separate display area for them. Sandwich Manufacturing Co. wasn't the only company in Sandwich, and we welcome any other products for this display. Featured tractor will be a ? scale Case steam engine and (due to a major mistake on my part!) the featured engine will be Root & VanDer-Voort. We are planning to expand our farm toy show and a special invitation is issued to all collectors. 1989 show dates are June 24 and 25 at the Sandwich Fairgrounds, Sandwich, Illinois, ? mile north of Rt. 34, on the west side of town. Exhibitors, arts & crafts, and flea market are always welcome. Come spend a day or two with us at our beautiful, historic, shaded Fairgrounds.
