I had a chance to stop by Milbank on the way back from Iowa on Saturday. Had a nice but short visit with Jessie B., Steve T., and the rest in the Liquidator Show! Almost unimaginable amout of work in the restorations and display. Hats off to all! Great to hear the why's on how they decide to and what to restore.
Thanks again guys!!

Had a fun weekend and enjoyed getting a chance to talk to everybody again. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. A big thank you to Mr. Tabor for bringing the food for us to cook on Friday night. We had a great supper for about 30 people.

The local paper featured only one photo of the show.

But it is a good one....

Funny how the 2nd Place Display winners received all the press. :)

Glad I could make it this year. Weather was dry most of the time. Food was great (thanks Steve!), beer was cold and BS was flowing.

Now what do we bring to Princeton?..........................Aug 24-26..........................http://www.outlawgrassdrags.com/

Still bothers me. But those that were there for my vent know how I feel.

No wonder I got a phone call from SD, I was hoping he had a dator for sale. Turns out it was only an Ariens... He got my name from the Watertown paper and tracked my phone number down. If I'm not mistaken the pics were on the front page? Great press for vintage deere though. :beers;

All in good fun. I'll be back. It's about the sleds and friends, not the plaques.

Well stated Mitch.

When I was taking the pictures I noticed about 8 or 9 others doing the same thing.

The display sure drew a lot of attention and comments.
