Left to right in the photo are Justin Rupert, Dennis Rupert, Bernard Woodmansee, Gill Roberts, William Roberts, Andy Hutchison, Whesley Roberts and Red Faulconer.

The engine in this photo is a 20 HP Farquhar belted to a 00 Frick mill.

We enjoyed our friends from the north country on their visit this past April. We hope to do it again at National Threshers in June.

We hold our annual Somerset Steam and Gas Pasture Party the last full weekend in August. Make plans to attend.

P. S. Ask Bernie who he chased down to get those “shoes.”
