[AT] drive by tractor show, 2

[Chris Britton]

I like those small tractor'shows' better than the big ones.

I'm a member of a club in florida.. it has a couple shows a year in a rural 
town north of me.. anbout a 2hr drive.  A small show.. perhaps 60 exhibitors 
and vendors together..  Every day of the show ( 3 days ) they have 2 tractor 
parades.. tractors fall in line, and then run around the show and out in the 
parking lot of the fairground, driving up beside US 301.. the main drag in 
town.  You can see the people in the cars waving as we pass by.  It's by far 
the high point of the show for me.  We run the pristing trailer queens with 
1000$ paint jobs, and refinished down to every nut and bolt right next to 
the rusty smokers with bald checked tires and with more bailing wire and 
braze and weld than there is original tractor... it's a testament to how 
these machines were built...
