An over view of a portion of the show area.
Christy (the Hottie) and the Fairbanks Morse. It is a 1930 model of 75 hp at 300 rpm. It is owned by Steve Zimbelmann, Sr. & Jr of Lodi, California. Just one of many wonderful examples of a machine of that era.
A homemade "hot air" machine.
An early Maytag clothes washing machine, powered by a single cylinder gas engine.
This shows the "kickstarter" for a washing machine. Can you imagine your mother asking "Willy, will you come here and kick the washing machine for me?"
1923 Fordson, owned by Don Monseth of Hearld, Ca.
This "cute toy" is a 1946 Gibson, owned by Roy McDowell or Grass Valley, Ca.

The is a 50s Wheel Horse Garden Tractor driven by Joshua (8) and brother as passenger, Jacob (5) Hole from Livermore, Ca.
Part of chapter 13 are the stove people. This sub-group has a "reputation" for fun and cooks for each show. While I was there the stove top had spaghetti sauce, turkey soup and chili beans cooking. It certainly smelled good, but my subtle "hints" produced nothing.
