The Steam Traction Engine Games photos are with these. These grand engines can be turned quickly and moved slowly to tug a simple line and pick up a water jug from the ground. (And a GIRL engineer won!)
If you love 'em green.. there were plenty of them as well as red, orange, blue...
The tractor parade was Saturday afternoon. A few of the tractors were announced in the rain. Antique cars and trucks are with these photos. The dump truck was something I could see my Dad building.
