[AT] Portland Camping 2008

[Gene Dotson]

    Dave;
    You should see the looks on some of the Green boys when I tell them I 
run a 32 inch seperator and a 54 inch sawmill. They don't always see the 
other color.
    Tractor is upgraded with  4 7/8" pistons and LP head. Puts out close to 
90 horsepower now.
    That is my dog, Bandy, resting under the wagon.

            Gene

>>     Hi all;
>>     Only 3 months to Portland show. Hope everyone has their plans in 
>> order
>>to attend.
>>     Our camping area will be a little different this year. We are losing
>>part of our regular area to reserved camping for volunteer helpers. We 
>>will
>>have the area across the drive by the creek to make up for it. We may be a
>>little cramped if we have a good turnout, but should be okay.
>>
>>     I have stressed the need to volunteer in order to keep our area, so 
>> are
>>now losing out, as that is one of the perks with the new officers. Again
>>last month, I was the only representative from A.T.I.S. for the annual
>>workday. We really need to put more effort into helping the cause. Some
>>areas where help would be welcome is driving shuttle tractors, helping in
>>the trading post and pre show setup for early arrivals.
>>
>>     I will have an additional assignment this year. I have volunteered to
>>help line up tractors for the Girard Family threshing crew to run some of
>>the machines. Will welcome any members who would like to use their 
>>tractors
>>at the show. I will be asking all exhibitors and hope to have as many
>>feature tractors as possible on the machines.
>>
>>     Hope to see all of you there to show George a good turnout of all his
>>friends.
