[Steam-engine] Greenville, OH...Joke?

[Beth]

Hi Andy,

Ah, you hit the "tractor" version of Greenville first!  At least you asked
the correct question and made it to the "real" show!

The 23-90 Baker guys (Lashaways from Perrysburg) always put on a whale of a
show.  That Baker really sucks the sawdust & throws fire!  I didn't make it
down until Saturday morning.  If anyone ever wants to find me, just look for
the Model A pickup & I'm usually not too far away.

The Perrysburg crew will be showing off again this weekend at 5 Points Steam
Threshers in Perrysburg.  It is a great threshing event with some sawing,
plowing & fan work going on.  Since they hold it in Lashaway's wheat field,
we really can't throw too many sparks....but we eat really well on the
steamed sweet corn & ham and bean soup!

Look me up at Wauseon next year (unless you catch me at one of the other
shows...) where we are featuring the Huber line.  The guys from the museum
are all excited and plan to bring numerous exhibits.  We'll also have
construction equipment too.

Beth
