Canadaiuga steam pagent

[Anonymous-0]

I was there Friday for a couple hours...Very few steamers. A few nice CASE steamers . A few other CASE'S.BUT ACRES AND ACRES OF FLEA MARKET JUNK.I was there around 50 years ago. It was a lot better in its infancy from what I can rememeber.BUT I was a wee lad ridein in a 1960 Desoto.Unless things picked up later.I think a lot of people wasted a lot of six dollar bills there.

Yes, a lot of "flea market junk" but some real treasures also. The Steamers, portable engines, huge gasoline tractors from the turn of the century, working models, to name a few. There was plowing, & a huge working construction site that has really expanded. Working Cats, a double engine Terex & 2 Euclid Quarry trucks. Rows & rows of antique tractors. An 1899 Steam Powered Locomobile Touring Car was also driving around for everyone to see.
And, of course the tractor pulls. This Forums very own KLYDE was tearing up the track. Word has it that when several competitors heard KLYDE was pulling, that they went home.

Thanks John. 5th Thursday night with the VAC 2800# and don"t know where I ended up with the C in 4500#.
Friday 2nd with the VAC and I think 5th with the C. Looked for you when I got done but couldn"t find ya. Mine are all stock except for the drawbars, and I don"t think I do bad among the stroked, bored and WRONG-tire-size Allis, JD and IH boys. I am VERY out-numbered.
It costs a lot of money to haul a steamer in there, just to show it off, when there are 2 other shows in NYS in the next 2 months.

Sounds like Tony Stewart had a bad day at the Canandagua race track when he struck and killed one of his competitors during a dirt car sprint race Sat night

I went up on Wed, the first day. Can count on one hand, literally, the number of Case"s I saw. 2 VAC"s in the display area, an SC by the buzz saw, and a C out in the pulling area. Maybe one more VAC out behind the flea market area.

I was surprised none of the steamers were running anything, no threshing.

I thought it was $6 well spent. Unloaded a couple of Toy Farmer special tractors to one of the vendors.

hey 3 point..I guess ill have to come back out to minnes0ta again soon to a real tractor n steam show... by the way there was threshing at the pagent .1 thresher was hooked to a Case even. You minnes0ta boys ruined me by taking me to ROLLAG a few years ago when they featured CASE. Them new York boys need to go to the west and see how to have a real show.

Chrissy & I watched for about an hour after I saw you. Got tired of seeing Green. Had orders from headquarters to be back home @ 7:30PM.
