Well got my projects judged and my chickens and tractor to the fair grounds. It was too bad that I got there so late because the tent was full and I had to park my B out side, oh well, there were definitely better looking tractors outside than mine. Now all I have to do is show some birds, tow tractors at the pulls and then auction those same bird off later. Best time of the summer

Fairs are always a bittersweet time! You start the second day, (you usually are to tired the next day) after the fair planning for next year. Anticipating the fun seems to last forever and ever! Then finally, you get to haul your stuff out to the fair grounds and then get so busy it seems like it's all over in a minute! Then the planning starts again! Next year you're gonna be ready and have some time to enjoy yourself!!!!   Yeah! Right!!!!!

   HELLO STIEGERBRO    There should have been room in the tent, because I didn't bring any tractors to the Union Grove fair, Instead I hauled 5 to the lake county IL fair for display and tractor pull.   Make sure that you bring your "B" to the Fall Harvest days September 14 -16.    Allen

Allen, i tried and I hope to this year but I usually wrk till 430 on fridays when the tractors for the pull need to be there by 330. Anyway there are alot of tractors, not too many allis' but plenty of internationals. The first nights of pulls was pretty good and then the combine demo was awesome with friends of mine dominating the entire thing.

Plainfield Fair wrapped up yesterday. Warren County starts today. My diet will start sometime in September. We try to get to as many fairs as we can and I sample as much food as possible. Gotta love fair season.
