SV: [AT] Portland show

[Larry & Barb Dotson]

Mattias,
I'm not surprised you were thrown off by the Portland show. About 8 yrs. 
ago when I first got on this list,
I too kept hearing all this chatter about Portland, starting around the 
first of the year. I was wondering if it
was Portland Oregon or Portland Maine. Never had heard of Portland 
Indiana. It did seem that a lot of
the people planning to be there seemed to be from our neck of the woods. 
Finally someone added the state
after Portland and I went to the map and was really surprised to find 
that it was about 90 miles due west
of me. I can get there in an hour and half with the motorhome and 
trailer. We have never missed since and
plan for it all year long. When restoring a tractor we aim for 
completion in time for Portland. It's a ball.
