[SEL] trip over the pond

I am thinking of going to Mt. Pleasant this year as an exhibitor.  They
are featuring Challenge Engines.  I was able to see what I wanted in the 1
day that I was there last year.  Photos on web site:

The same weekend are 3 shows that I would recommend.  

Rollag, MN - Large show with lots of steam, Big Gas Tractors, and some
excellent displays of engines (ones on year round setup are worth it.  I
was not overly impressed with the fenced in cages where others were
displaying engines.)  It made me think that we were in down under????

White Pines Logging & Threshing - McGrath MN - Nice sice show held on a
family farm.  Good selection of steam, Gas Tractors are organized nicely. 
Some excellent working exhibits.

Rock River Thresheree Edgerton/Janesville, WI - lots of steam and other
tractors.

Pontiac, IL - I haven't been to the show for several years so I cannot
comment on it.

2 years ago, I was able to catch 3 shows in 3 days...Lots of fun...Rollag
then White Pines, and then Edgerton...and lots of driving.
