Steve,

You're absolutely right. Hopefully this summer (I'm not even sure when the 
show is) I can make it over to Mt. Pleasant for the show. I have very fond 
memories of the Dick Herm Steam Show (local threshing show held in the '70s 
at Farmdale, IL - sort of by Morton and East Peoria). I particular enjoyed 
watching the sawmill operations with the traction engine's flywheel driving 
the long canvas(?) belt to power the huge blade. And the train ride around 
the lake was fun too!
