Dean, I can understand the Masters being on one's bucket list; Cumming show is just another small show however the crowd usually is very congenial.  A couple decades ago the area was probably farm oriented but today the area is a bedroom community of Atlanta. Saturdays weather was ideal and this years crowd was exceptionally congenial; opinion is people had a good reason to get out and enjoy socializing.
Special exhibits this year was a 40' long triaxle trailer load of six or more Sears 1938 - 39 New Economy tractors by John Baum, Appleton, WI. He tours from Alaska to Fl. Flywheelers (doubt if the trailer has been unloaded in last decade or more). John owns 19 of the less than 100 tractors known to exist (500 were built by Peru Wheel in Illinois). Normal engine was a Model A Ford; top speed was 3.5 mph. google has more details.
Another exhibitor had a 6" x 6" under one front wheel of his John Deere with Rollomatic; first time I have noticed this feature being featured in an exhibit.
And several operating steam traction engines (I respect their occasional smoking up the area but could do without their occasionally blowing their noisy whistles).

Herb,

Wish I was closer.  Your show and the Masters would be on my bucket list.  Well, in  a year in which spectators are allowed

Weather forecast for this Friday & Saturday in Cumming, GA is sunshine, 75 degrees, and 8 mph wind. I plan taking a G and AC720 large lawn tractor with 4' tiller. Two years ago someone from Alabama (100 miles) drove their Stanley Steamer car to the show; sure received a lot of attention.
