2009 Sunday

	We begin our Sundays at the SVSGEA annual Show with a morning Non-Denominational Church Service. SVSGEA members David and Patti Fogle host the service that features reading of the Scriptures, a short message, and singing Hymns.








And more demonstrations of our vintage farm equipment.






	Looking for parts for that old tractor you are restoring? For wiring and electrical items, check out the Brillman Company, shown in the photos above. The Brillman Company phone number can be seen in their photo. For tractor engine parts and accessories, check out Home Place Parts, shown in the photos below. For Home Place Tractor, call Paul Chocklett or Jerry Hartman at 1-800-896-9197. Let these companies know you saw their displays at the SVSGEA Show in Berryville, VA!



	More education! Meet Sam Breeden of Berryville, VA in the photos shown left and below. His display of small engines begins with the British-made Wall Auto Wheel, shown against the tree. This 1/2 HP bicycle propulsion engine was built in 1913. Later, Wall sold out to A.O. Smith. Still later, A.O. Smith sold this engine division to the Briggs & Stratton Company. Briggs and Stratton then made their first stationary engine in 1922.

	The Grand Finale of our annual Show is the Children's Tractor Pull. To make sure the equipment is always in "proper working order" prior to the Competition, Announcer Mike Marpole checks out the Pulling Tractor with a "little weight" added my SVSGEA member Chris Collis. Did I hear someone holler "F U L L P U L L L L L ?
