Weekend Steam

This YouTube video was shot at the 2009 Pawnee, Oklahoma show*, and it shows us a time honored game of steam shows, the Slow Race. The winner is an unusual engine, a return flue Minneapolis with a tandem compound engine. One of these is pictured in the slide show for this year's National Threshers Association Reunion, which happens in June at Wauseon, Ohio. I might have to schedule a weekend and go over there to see that beauty.

All roads lead to Pawnee the first full weekend in May for three days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) for one of the largest displays of the giant machines at work in the country ... The largest in the southwest.
