GROUP 3 Photos of an old abandoned thresing showgrounds (not too far from where my husband grew up).
*I do apologize as some photos were not as clear as I would have liked...but I think they are still kinda neat. **I did reduce the photo pixels by 45 percent, so I hope they are not to pixel heavy for people to open them.
Really nice old gent, Art, had a show on his own farm for many years. My husband worked the show a few years when he was 19-20 years old. Husband bought his 1936 B JD from this guy.

And we asked if we could look at the old showgrounds while we were there... and as always, I had my camera handy!

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
