[SEL] Big Changes at Portland

[Luke Tonneberger]

Just received the Newsletter for Portland. Looks like some pretty big 
changes for the engine area this year. The engine area to the East of the 
log cabin and by the horse barns will now be tractors. Saw mill and 
threshing will also be in that area. That portion of the engine area will 
now be out in the tractor area to the North of the big engines or to the 
West of the consignment sale barn. Part of the new land acquired to the East 
will have an area for the tractors to plow. I see why they moved the 
tractors, can't have them driving through the crowds. Will be interesting to 
see how many tractors will actually be operated. Will also be interesting to 
see what others think and how it works out.
