I didn't make much of the show this year... medical appointments. 

Made an appearance on Friday with four including the first show with the Amigo. 

Dan camped and had four horses there. 

Little bit of what I got.

There is a guy who has been bringing WWII half tracks to this show the last couple of years. Last year he brought one with a 50cal machine gun mounted on the back. This year he brought one with a different tool to show off.

 

 

After dark he did a nice 60min demo for the crowd. With the light tipped at about 30 degrees and then rotating it round & round. In order for this demo to happen, the authorities had to be inform ahead of time. 

 

This guy owns around 40 of these half tracks. each set up in a different configuration. Looking forward to seeing what he brings next year.

 

Off to the right in the above picture you may also notice a steam engine doing a spark show, his sparks are going about 30ft high.

Thanks for the pictures Dan and Jim.  Glad to see Rube Goldberg inventions are still around and going strong.

Growing up during the town festival there was always one of those spotlight trucks at the entrance to the carnival to draw folks in at night.
