Tractor Show Exhibitor Camping

[John "T" Nordhoff]

  We go to three of four Antique Tractor Shows each year in Florida or Indiana where we exhibit and at the same time are "Camping" in the RV as a majority of exhibitors do. This was taken last month at Pioneer Days in Zolfo Springs Florida just after we spent 11 days at the Florida Flywheelers Show in Fort Meade Florida. I have 3 electrical related exhibits, one for antique tractor Ignition Systems, one for Generator Charging Systems, one for Magnetos and next year I'm adding one regarding how my Solar System works in the RV. Its a lot of fun chatting with and educating the bystanders, we meet a lot of great people and each year is like old homecoming. When were not there we attend three Bluegrass Festivals and base camp out of Lake Bonnett Village in Avon Park, Florida. We have been blessed, life is good,

Good on you John, I love old machines of just about any kind. Nothing like walking around an antique farm show. The smell of coal fired steam engines, wood smoke, and oil mingling with the smell of popcorn and food stands and that awesome sound of the old hit miss engines plugging along after all these many years. you just gotta love that stuff.
