The Scheid Diesel Extravaganza is an annual event at Vigo county fair grounds. They are expecting 15000 people to attend.
If you plan to attend a few words of caution:
The main street for people comming from the North and west is under construction in 2 places. Traffic is already a mess. Avoid using 3rd street, us41. There is a back door to fair grounds.
The city, county, state and excise cops are on overtime. They use many unmaked vehicles. Every year locals avoid going south by the fair grounds, traffic is a mess. Now with construction blocking a lane, it will be a nightmare.
It will look like Christmas in August around the fair grounds with all the cops having their lights on. So be warned. Save yourself some money. Seat belt violation seems to be the main one, reckless driving, under age drinking. Each year cops write a record number of citations, tickets and arrests. It's hard to say the actual number of people who will be fined, because it takes time for all 4 law enforcements to total up their numbers. Local news hands out early numbers. If I remember, the number goes north of 500. Like one in 30.
Have fun, most do, some even bring campers make a family thing out of it. Very few think it's time to get drunk, drag race, have after hours tail gate party in stores parking lots with dancing girls in bed of truck. That was a big new event, girl was before a judge a few times for that stunt.
Be safe, find back door to fairgrounds, Buckle up, don't drink and drive. DON'T MAKE THE NEWS. It puts a stain of the event, even though most of the problems are not at the event, just on the streets. George

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
