[SEL] Findlay Ohio Aug 4-7 Engine and Tractor Show

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi All,          Looking forward to seeing you all. Preparations at 
the Hancock County Fairgrounds start this Sunday so time at the 
keyboard for me is going to get slimmer then usual.
Folks can come and start speaking for their display spot Monday 
afternoon at 5 pm and exhibit set up can start Tuesday at noon. We 
will put your name on a display spot for you at your request but you 
must be present to speak for the spot. Or have a buddy speak for a 
spot for you. The spot is to be occupied by Thursday morning opening 
day of the show as by noon if you are not using it and someone comes 
that will we will give the spot away.
We usually do a corn roast for exhibitors on Friday evening. But 
considering the temps of late we are not going to decide for sure on 
that till the day, Will play that one by ear. Our fearless leader 
Jack W. is getting grumpy with the combination of heat and old age, 
LOL Don't tell him I said that GRINN. So give him words of 
encouragement through the week.
We still plan to have a splash of fuel for exhibit engines.
  This year we are encouraging the display of  LANTERNS, from barn to 
rail or firemans to camping lanterns, road and construction warning 
flares.  Any kind of vintage light fueled by a combustible fluid. One 
would normally think Kerosene lanterns but there are other fuels for 
lanterns. Pressure lanterns like the Coleman are a prime example. And 
there are more types of vintage lights then lanterns. Yellow Dogs as 
a example that comes to mind.  Larry Swartz has lead the way with 
encouraging that at a couple other shows in the area and its been a 
big success. So even if you do not plan to light it bring it. Don't 
care to keep what you got bring it to sell. Got spare parts going to 
no good use bring them to sell.
   There is no official organization of this aspect of the show we 
are just encouraging people to bring lanterns to add to their 
displays.  Last year one display had over 50 lanterns.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!.  As usual if you have a 
few engine related items to sell bring it along with your 
display.   If all you want to do is sell engines come too we have a 
area just for engine parts venders by donation.
