Greg,

It is a very impressive collection, no doubt about that, and it has been around at least 50 years another impressive thing.

As a presenter, I was disappointed in the lack of published information and scheduled activities. The show seems to have one major activity at a time with everyone participating in that activity. It takes 2 hours for the noon parade, that is just too long. I think it would be more exciting to break down the activities into sections with clearly published schedules and information for each section. There is no reason several activities could not happen at the same time and allow the spectators to spread out a little more. The spectators would read the programs if the information was meaningful. Attendees could also research the presenters and plan their visit.

There is a parade area going around the entire site, you could have a parade every hour with specific equipment that only lasted about 15-30 minutes. The attendees could select what parades they wanted to attend, and see things on the off times. The parade announcer only had time to tell the year, model owner and operator, a little commentary would make it interesting.

A tour of the specific sections with information (bio) published on each entry and a chance to talk with the presenters. The owners would know they had to be with the equipment during that period and the attendees would know someone would be there to answer questions. If you had the section specific happen at different times, that would allow the presenters to go see the other sections. I really like to know if equipment is passed down, or bought. I also like to talk with the restorers about what they learned.

Just a few of my thoughts.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most ... [Read Article]
