This past Sunday I went with my dad to the Scott Carver Thresher's Association tractor show. My dad brought two of his tractors (Farmal Cub and his W-6) and my Simplicity garden tractor to be displayed at the show. I had been to this show one time before, but I never had my own tractor on display. We arrived on Sunday in time to have a quick lunch and then drive the tractors in the parade. I drove the Cub while he drove the W-6. His tractors were near the front of the parade and my Simplicity was near the back, so it gave me time to drive mine in the parade as well.
We spent sometime after the parade walking around looking at all of the different tractors and steam engines. We watched threshing machine thresh rye for a little bit and talked about the fire that started on a hay wagon the day before. I missed this, but apparently it added for some excitement on Saturday. While we were loading up the tractors with it being so dry a log started to smolder near the sawmill, probably starting from a steam engine that was runnning the sawmill. It was put out right away and didn't cause any damage.
It was a fun day. After the show we loaded the tractors up and brought them down to the shed in Waseca where they will sit until the next show.
