[SEL] Findlay Show

[Doug Tallman]

Mark, our count consists of all motorized lawn and garden equipment. Our 
official count was 961 pieces of equipment on display. I would be 
willing to bet you missed quite a few Briggs because it seems to me the 
ratio of Briggs powered equipment would have been off?? It really 
doesn't make a difference, no matter how you slice the musk melon it was 
still a fantastic show!! I sure didn't hear any negatives on the 
displays!! Can't wait to get to Portland and rest up. ha-ha   Doug T
