[AT] Got to be NC Festival pictures

[Gene Waugh Elgin, Illinois USA]

I really enjoyed the thread, Al.  Our family lived in the Raleigh for a 
number of years---47 or 48 to 1955.  We had an ol boy next door to us 
with a smoke barn, lots of sticks!  We even got to see him make the 
plunge from strictly mules to...what was it?...a JF M, I think.  At this 
time, we lived out east of Raleigh, went to school in Apex.

And my grandad in Indiana had an IH combine similar to the one 
shown---except it was PTO powered.  Got my boot toe stuck in the bin 
elevator one time, while kicking oats down.  Dang teenager couldn't use 
the broom that was carried for that purpose!!!  I remember being so glad 
it was driven by V-belt & idler pulley rather than chain & sprocket!!!

Dad was Head of the Animal Husbandry Dept, and I spent many days at the 
NC State Fair as a kid---this is about the only thing I remember getting 
out of school for!!  Not the fairway, but the stock buildings, 
machinery, etc.  Is the Cow Palace still there?
