[SEL] Portland , IN 2005

[Arnie Fero]

Hi Ed,

On the contrary, the show officially starts at 9:00 AM on Wednesday
24-August.  Many folks setup on Monday or Tuesday (or earlier).
The busiest days are probably Friday and Saturday.  Late Saturday many
folks have started to pull out and Sunday is probably 3/4 empty.

Here's the club's website.  http://www.tristategasengine-tractor.com/

And here's four year's worth of "first-person" accounts of what the
"Portland Experience" is all about.  Enjoy!!

You NEED to do Portland.  For an engine man (or woman) Portland is the
equivalent of a Muslim's visit to Mecca.  And since this is the 40th
year of the "Portland Experience" it's probably gonna be a WILD TIME!!
8-))))

BTW only 20 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes and 31 seconds to go!!!

I hope that helps.

See ya,  Arnie
