It was 90*. hundreds of old tractors, huge hit & miss engines, belt driven machine shop ,sawmill, tractor pull, Good reasonable food at the concession stand. hundreds of people All Happy , NO snowflakes ,fruitcakes or fairies. not once did I have to look over My shoulder. The America I remember 60 years ago as a Kid. http://www.pioneersteamandgas.com/

Re: Ain't That America.......
.45Colt, there will be a similar event next weekend in a place named Brooks, Oregon -- the annual Steam-up at Powerland. The old-engine and tractor nerds that this attracts are the salt of the earth. Down here in New Mexico there is a shocking dearth of "old iron." I miss it -- and my Gibson tiller-steered tractor and my Fairbanks Morse hit-and-miss engine ...

Re: Ain't That America.......

I try to tell people all the time...Pennsylvania has Pittsburg on the left, Philly on the right, and Alabama in between. Gunshows or shoots every weekend...nothing like those communist states. ---6
Re: Ain't That America.......
They call it Cracker days down here. We try to attend several a year.
Re: Ain't That America.......
There's a good show like that in Bird City, Kansas every year. Steam tractor races included!

Re: Ain't That America.......
The mothership of these type shows is the Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Ia. If you enjoy this type of machinery it's well worth the trip.

I collect old outboards and our International at Tomahawk, Wi draws folks from Great Britain, Sweden, and others. Tis the season.

Re: Ain't That America.......
There is a show like that in early August every year in Goessel, KS. Includes antique steam and gas tractor demos, large and small stationary engines, antique threshing, harvesting machine demos, horse team plowing demos, etc and what not. Also very worth seeing if you are close by and like antique farm and mechanical equipment.

Re: Ain't That America.......
Steam tractor, antique tractors, hit & miss engines etc. at Pawnee OK the first full weekend in May every year. They have a big Corless permanently on display too. It's usually muddy but worth it. You just need your gum boots.
