related equipment; one full size tractor; one size tractor and
several scale Case engines; a scale steam boat; steam pumps, steam
bell-ringer and various horizontal and upright engines.
The gas engine line-up ranged from a modest 6 HP Witte to a 3/4

Morse, Eclipse, Maytags, small Wittes, Internationals and
others.
As a part of the show the Antique Automobile clubs of
Huntsville, Anniston, and Gadsden, Alabama were on hand with 35
antique autos.
Approximately 3000 people attended the one-day show and 700-1000
toured the stern-wheeled steamer that was on hand for the show.
