[SEL] Cotton Ginning Days Oct 13, 14 , & 15. Feature is Bessemer.

[Curt]

It's that time of year again. The Cotton Ginning Days festival will be 
having its' 19th annual show next week, Friday thru Sunday, October 
13th, 14th, and 15th. Our feature this year is Bessemer engines. The 
cotton has been picked and will he carried upstairs to the gin next 
Thursday. Ginning will occur all three days of the show.
Friday evening at 5:30 will be a social around the gin building with hot 
apple cider and all the sweets you can think of. Come and socialize with 
all your engine and tractor buddies. Saturday evening at 5:30 is the 
dinner served to all displaying attendees in the Citizens Resource 
center on the show grounds. This dinner is _free_ to all families of 
displaying attendees. Be sure to get your free tickets at the 
registration desk at the gin building.
Show grounds open on Wednesday Oct. 11th at 9:00 a.m.
GAMTRA joined resources with the county many years ago, and the show has 
transformed into a county festival with annual attendance of 25,000. 
This show is definitely a spectator show, and if you enjoy bringing 
engines and tractors and demonstrating and explaining to the public what 
your old machinery was used for, this is the show for you!
If you're looking for SEL/OFES folks, we'll be sawing wood just below 
the gin and engine buildings. Hope to see you next week for another 
great Cotton Ginning Days weekend.
