Saturday morning began with a light drizzle which increased
gradually to a light and then moderate rain. We began having
visions of a very wet show, but exhibitors arriving from the west
were saying the sun was out just a few miles away. Sure enough,
before noon, the sun was out, the grounds dried out rapidly and
Twenty steam engines can produce a lot of smoke. Here about
twelve are lined up under a beautiful fall sky. Photos by Colin
Coshway at 1994 show.
Twenty steam engines were soon wafting the smoke that gives the
aroma that lets you know a good time is to be had by all. The large
display of gas tractors, small engines, models and a very large
flea market as well as toy show and American Indian Motorcycle
display provided entertainment to suit everyone’s taste.
The accompanying pictures should give you an idea of some of the
equipment on display. For the last three years we have had Bill
Kennedy’s sawmill set up so that it can be powered by two steam
engines this year we had three! Chester Scheffel’s scale Frick
powered the sawdust drag!
September 15, 16, & 17 of 1995 are the dates of our 25th
anniversary show. We will feature the Minneapolis line of steam
engines and gas tractors and the Economy gas engine. Please join us
for three days’ enjoyment of yesteryear.
