This happened by accident. I was on my way to South east Iowa to meet up with a friend (my girlfriend from when I was 14 back in 1961), and we were going to out 45th class reunion for Richwoods highschool in Peoria Illinois. actually I haden't graduated with the class, but only attended school with them my freshman and sophmore years, so had to go as a guest with my old girlfriend. I hadn't seen these folks for 48 years. I completed highschool in north central Missouri where my family moved to a farm back in the early 60's. Confused yet? Amyway, Tractor Dan called me when I was leaving the St Louis area on hwy 61 and asked where I was and I told him and he said I would pass near the Linclon County Old Threashers show and I said mabey I will have time to go by and check it out Sunday morning when I am on my way back to Tennessee. Well I remembered to turn down the county road that goes to Elsberry and the Lincoln County Old Threshers show grounds when I was on my way back home. I expected to see the remains of the show with a few floks cleaning up and the last of the tractors and old machinery stragling out the gate as I approached but, no, when I got there around noon, it was still a good show with lots of stuff still there. I'd say only half of the tractors had gone. That was a good thing. The bad thing was I had to pay full price. The same as if I had arrived Friday morning and planned to attend all three days.
