[Steam-engine] shows

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

People collect what they grew up with.  This means that the most popular
tractors right now are made in the mid to late 50's.  You go to any show and
most of the tractors were made in that timeframe.   I also prefer the older
tractors but there just isn't enough interest in that to support a steel
wheel only show.  I personally don't think it is an antique unless it was
made before 1939.  Mt. Pleasant has the most older tractors of any show I
have been to and even they just changed the rules to allow anything older
than 50 years old.  That is 1957!

Kind of quiet lately.
Are there any shows that only allow steel or hard rubber wheeled tractors?
Any that are steam only?
I get tired of seeing endless rows of green, red, and orange rubber tired
tractors.
Do any of you feel the same way?
