[AT] Portland Camping, Who's Coming?

[Gene Dotson]

    Good deal Farmer, Steve, Tim, Paul, Ivan, Herb and anyone I may have 
missed.
    The Dotson clan will be bringing at least 5 tractors, so with all the 
rest committed and  so far uncommitted, we should be able to put on a great 
display, maybe even top our best year of 13 tractors before the shakeup. I 
am very enthusiastic about the show this year, especially getting us all 
back together.
    We can still use a couple more canopies. I think we have 4 now of 
various sizes. Maybe bring some extra chairs that we could use for our many 
guests to rest their weary feet. Maybe Spenser could provide some 
promotional items?
    I will be contacting Dave Pyle to let him know we will be descending 
enmasse upon him. As I indicated before, he can not save an area for us, but 
will see that we can have plenty area to set up.
    Herb has expressed his regrets that he will not be able to attend this 
year, so will miss his wisdom.

    I may not get all the work done, but some things can wait till later. 
Cut my 3rd cutting hay yesterday and probably bale that on Thursday. Good 
haymaking weather, but dry for the soybeans.

                                    Gene
