[SEL] Portland Set Up Reconsidered

[Glenn Karch]

Dave,

As a 34 year veteran of the Portland show,  I think the change in the engine 
exhibit area was a BIG mistake.  Not only does it break up the continuity, 
it almost strands some of the exhibitors in the north area.  It was 
certainly dishartening to many of those who had to exhibit out there and I 
am wondering if some of them will come back.

 Many tractors just sit there lonely without anyone looking at them or 
tending to them.  I usually walk through and look at the tractors, but I 
don't care where they are.
