Our town has festival each year in park with oldie things. I go for the tractors, cars, and mechanical things. Some good older greasy food too, heh! Some pictures later when phone is charged back up. Tried to post, but low batt on it. Lots of nice GREEN stuff there, including two up on coke bottles balancing. One running at times, but not in my pix. I've seen before at Portland show. Lots of big hit/miss engines and tiny little engines on one table with diff tools for them. Real neat trailer with Briggs stuff AND, one of prettiest Clintons I have ever seen! One Briggs chromed up was neat. Think a Bantam or close inside too. Lots of odd old bikes, some diff than seen most times. A neat old Horseless carriage, homemade and has Honda engine in it. Mostly made from Buggy parts, axles, wheels and upholstery. North of us is Amish country and can still get NEW buggy parts and have wheels made and other neat stuff. Some model A's which all had the CB radio option in them, heh! All from one club. Took pix of older engine and NO plug wires on it, just little metal bands from distributor device down to each plug. That was odd. I've never noticed that on one before, maybe changed in later years? Think this was a 30 vintage. Lots of neat stuff. I bought a Yellow or GOLD towel set with Minneapolis-Moline on them.

Thanks for posting the pics, great stuff! I miss old timers day in our town. For some reason it's not celebrated anymore. Now we have the Garlic Festival and I don't bother going. I should look into bringing old timers day back because I've heard people talk about it.
