Ed Kennell 38,634 #1 Posted September 29, 2016 This is the second year this event was hampered by major rain. The hilly location compounds the problems when the grounds get muddy. Ericj, are you going this year ?? Maybe I'll take a load over on Saturday if the rain tapers off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,981 #2 Posted September 29, 2016 Hey Ed, I was planning to go Saturday. If the rain lets up soon, maybe it won't be too wet. See you there. Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,594 #3 Posted September 29, 2016 Was planning on heading there Friday morning, but if the radar shows rain in the area or headed that way, I will scrap those plans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #4 Posted September 30, 2016 I remember the muddy hill for parking on from two years ago! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,594 #7 Posted September 30, 2016 With it raining here now, and a forecast of rain all day at the show area, I'm staying put right here. Maybe next year will be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,634 #8 Posted September 30, 2016 I hear Ya Bob. I'm only 5 mile away, so I may run over tomorrow if I see a break in the rain. I really feel sorry for the folks that put he show together. Has to be discouraging to be rained out two years in a row. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 237 #9 Posted September 30, 2016 If it is not raining tomorrow. Karen and I are planning to go. I need to find a 520 hood and rear fender at a good price. Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,981 #11 Posted September 30, 2016 Heavy rain has stopped, and the wind is drying things out. Just light drizzle this afternoon and tomorrow. I'm going, but I'm driving my 4 wheel drive, and wearing mud boots. Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,634 #12 Posted September 30, 2016 I'll look for the muddy boots Jim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,634 #13 Posted October 1, 2016 A few pics from this morning. Rain and foggy. Resulting in plenty of mud. A serious wood splitter. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,981 #14 Posted October 1, 2016 Yeh, it's too bad the weather didn't cooperate. I got there around noon. Only about 20% of the exhibitors that would have been there in good weather. Saw about four WH collectors club members, and only about 10 Wheel Horses. Hopefully, weather will be better next year. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,634 #15 Posted October 1, 2016 Sorry I missed you Jim. I was leaving about the time you got there. It was a poor turnout. Really feel bad for the exhibitors and organizers. Eric had about 90% of the tractors there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cruisnblue48 835 #16 Posted October 2, 2016 With the rain forecast Wednesday through Saturday, I figured it was going to be a wash out so I kept my horses in the barn. Missed this show two years in a row now. Gotta be better weather next year... hopefully. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
