Boonville, Indiana Engine Show Is This Weekend!



The 48th annual show of Boonville's Antique Steam and Gas Engine Club is coming up July 22-24.  There is always plenty to see at Boonville, and with the heat wave we are experiencing, I recommend arriving early to check out the flea market and tractors, and then retreating to the shade to watch the gas engines.



It's always a joy to watch the horses and mules doing field work at Boonville. 


You will also see a bunch of old tractors in addition to the antique gas engines at Boonville. There is plenty of shade in the center of the show grounds, so you can get a little relief from the heat when you need it.

UPDATE FOR 2012!!! The Summer Show Is July 27-29, 2012; the Fall Show is October 12-14.

Information about the July 2012 Show can be seen at THIS LINK (CLICK).

I'm sure there's a reason for that drive belt to be so long, but I can't think of one.

Unless it's to let gravity be the slack tensioner.

That's right! It's also nice to have a little distance between a steamer and the straw pile.
