I'd like to know how long folks would tolerate golf carts and 4 wheelers and lawn mowers being driven down the sidewalks in their town, community, village....or any other place, meant for foot travel?
These public events...tractor shows, car shows, airplane fly in's, etc., were never conceived as drive by viewing parades. People on foot and folks on/in any kind of motorized vehicle, don't mix.
Of course those who can't or won't walk, don't like hearing this. Like any other special interest group, they want exceptions made just for them.
So, what is the answer? When I was a boy and grandmaw and grandpaw went to the county fair....which was probably the closet thing to a tractor show we now have, they walked around until they tuckered out. They found a place to sit down and visit with their cronies.....or they went home. They didn't make a nuisance out of themselves, expecting everybody else to clear the way so they could motor through the crowd.
There is no common sense amongst today's generations....old and young alike. They all want what's good for them and to hell with everybody else.
I've got a bum knee and a bad back...they both hurt all the time. BUT, that is MY problem, not anybody else's and I have no right to expect the public at large to make an exception for me, for my convenience. Neither does anybody else.
There should be a sign posted at the gates of these events stating: This is a Walking Event ONLY.

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
