The other was the Moon Festival, and then the Festival Latino. I will post some from the last fest later, maybe tomorrow.

They make for such rustic photo-ops.

We have them all over here in the summer and I always pack a camera. It's not every day you see an Amish man on a 1947 Cockshutt competing in a tractor pull as they did in Burton Ohio this year.

That first image bursts with the pride of "Americana". Well done sir.

There was a badly sun bleached International, some Moline and Avery equipment there. No Case steamers.

I think I have a photo of a Hoyt Clagwell at last year's show. I have the picture somewhere.

One of these Oliver's were at that show too.
