Red can look great on a great old car.......


State Fair photo again of some vintage car.  Red is better than black and I assume that it originally was black.

Rumble seat........


Transportation being such a revolutionary idea with gas driven cars,  a rumble seat would be an obvious addition to add more people to the load.  I suppose two could sit together back there but the dust and the rain could be a problem.


Here is a look under the hood of this car.  I assume that it isn't the original engine as I can see devices that probably were invented at the beginning of the making of automobiles.

For some reason,  I don't have a picture of the actual car.  I guess I just shot the unusual parts of it.

Baa Baa Black Sheep.......


have you any wool?  State fair youngsters watching all the people.  The fair is over and these three are gone now, probably back on the farm.

Two buddies at the fair.........


Here are a couple more vintage cars that I saw at the fair. They are very color coordinated and it is great.  I am sure Henry Ford doesn't care as long as he didn't have to pay for the new paint jobs. Black was his choice of color for quite some time. Did you know that the wooden floors of the cars were recycled from shipping boxes from companies that supplied parts for building the cars?

Out for a trot.......


The new arena built for horse shows and also concerts is a beautiful facility.  This competition was a fun one to watch,  When the announcer gave the directions, the horses would  walk, trot and a few other things that I don't remember.  The horses actually seem to know the words from what the announcer said as you did not see the driver giving them any commands.  They would pull back on the reins once in a while to slow them down.




Two pictures today so I can show you the one end of the new arena.  The metal fencing held in the clay floor in place. They put in for the show as it is easier on the horses to be on a clay floor.  It is a cement floor at the bottom and they will remove the clay with machinery to return it to maybe a floor on which concert goers can sit.  The side areas seat 3600 people but the floor space can add another 3000 folding chair seating.
