I knew I would forget to mention someone in my previous comments and I most likely still am going to. First and foremost we can't forget our hosts at Steam Era. They have been nothing but receptive to our presence. They give us everything we need and want and I just want to say publicly "thank you" to all of them and to the great united effort it takes to make a weekend like that work. Also I need to name the other two ladies that prepared and served the food. My wife Karen Fisher and Brenda Gabel along with Dennise. They both took the day to help us as they did in the spring at Aquino. Also it can't go without a shout out Robin Craig for providing the desserts and the rope whipping lesson! Robin I am hooked !

Looks like a great event guys! I hope to be able to attend one of these years.

Robin: My monitor was getting banged up from flipping it over on its side to look at your photos (nice photos by the way - that crushing setup is pretty cool).

If anyone wishes to donate their Iltis next year, the crushing theme can be demonstrated with the Sherman . . .

Straining to crush, or straining not to crush? Methinks your caption needs a slight edit.

Crush em all, and let the overseas recyclers sort them out.

I quote our leader Les Fisher from his post where he states "Also it can't go without a shout out Robin Craig for providing the desserts and the rope whipping lesson! Robin I am hooked !"

Les, I have been hooked on desserts for years!

Yet another great year at the Steam Show in Milton. As mentioned by others above, a BIG thank-you to all involved!

I just wanted to take a moment to pass on a message from the Steam Show organizers whom Brian Gough and I spoke with after emceeing the military vehicle parade...

The organizers were genuinely extremely thankful to all those involved in the OMVA/military vehicle display! They said that we play a large role in the event as not all visitors who attend are interested in agricultural equipment, therefore our display effectively helps them to appeal to a wider variety of audiences! They wished for us to pass their thanks on to as many of our attendees as possible! So, THANK-YOU to all!
