[AT] Fair was RE: Portland camping - Gene

[Rob Wilson]

 Well the Ohio State Fair was one of the biggest wastes of time I've been to
in a long time. I only saw two tractors at the entire fair (and I use this
term VERY loosely) and they were used to haul manure. Even the shuttle
inside the grounds was pulled by a truck. The animal and 4H exhibits were
nice as usual and the Ag building was nice but heaven forbid there be any
other farm related functions on the main grounds. The tractor pull track now
has a huge shelter made especially for the hay burners of the quarter horse
congress. Sad to see.

    Gene:

    Put me down for being very hopeful to make it. I was informed today by a

much higher authority that we "needed" Portland this year...   :-)   I guess

I better get my tail in gear and figure out how to do it.

    We did take today off and went to the Indiana State Fair. They had a
very nice and sizable old tractor display both sitting and operating
equipment. The "Pioneer" area has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds in
recent years.
