In 1980, when I moved to Davenport, IA., on the Illinois border, I didn't pronouce Geneseo properly. It's one of those local things as it is pronounced Genaseeoe. Whatever, it's where we attended the 61st annual Antique Engine & Tractor Working Farm Showtoday. After attending such gatheringss in Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and now Illinois, I see there are many common features. In all of them there is an abundance of tractors plus many implements of farming from days gone by. Think of these shows as outdoor museums of old farm machinery. It's delightful to see the old equipment at work; picking andshelling corn, elevation corn into a corn crib, threshing grain and sawing lumber in a sawmill powered by a steam engine. A mid-day parade allows owners to show their pride and joy. The day was made more delightful by ideal weather.
