2010 Sunday Photos

 

DAY 3

 

Day 3 begins with our Non-Denominational Church Service, held under the Bean Soup Tent.  The service begins at 9:00AM.  SVSGEA Club members David and Patti Fogle conduct the service that also features singing some inspirational hymns.
Throughout the weekend, we feature demonstrations of our vintage farm equipment from years long gone past.  This year, we had two young guys from PA and WV who wanted to participate in our Threshing Machine demonstration.  Shown below are Eugene Kimmer from Indiana, PA and Dustin Hoaks from Fort Ashby, WV.
As we like to say .... "They done good!"
Each year, there is always someone who will show up with a very unique vehicle or piece of equipment.  For 2010,  meet Barry Sine of Stephens City, VA and his Miniature Model T.

Thanks for visiting our show, Barry!

Each year, the SVSGEA Officers, Show Directors and Members are proud to welcome members of the Mason-Dixon Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society of Frederick, MD who bring some really beautiful antique tractor-trailer trucks to put on display at our Show.  This year, however, we are saddened by the loss of Mr. Fred Craig, shown below with one of his trucks from the 2009 Show.  Fred lost his battle with Cancer in March of this year. We extend our deepest condolences to the Craig Family.  We want to thank the Mason-Dixon members and many others who brought their antique trucks to our show this year.
Remember us mentioning the unusually hot temperatures for this year's Show?  Oh ... we did?

Shown at left is Mel Fair, member of the Mason-Dixon Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society.

See.... there was this ICE truck that rolled into the park to fill up all of the ICE machines.  Notice the ICE truck in the background of the photo?  We did not ask Mel where the ICE came from.  Mel does look like he is COOLING OFF.

Many of the Steam Tractors featured at our Show use fire wood to get their boilers going.  However, some also use Coal.  Here we can see a couple of our Steam Tractors "backing up to the Coal Station".
Sunday afternoon --- Time for our annual Mule Pull and Mule Jump.  And back again with his country wit and humor is our announcer Mike Marpole.
And this year, Mother Nature provided some exciting entertainment during the Mule Jump.  As you look at the photos, you will see what we later learned was the outer winds of a tornado that passed by pretty close to the Show Grounds, followed by heavy rain.  The rest of the Mule Jump as well as the Kid's Tractor Pull was cancelled by SVSGEA Officials in the interest of safety.
And so with the storm over, and having cancelled the rest of Day 3's activities for safety reasons, we will finish out our Steam Show web pages with photos from our 3-day collection yet to be published. 

The Officers, Show Directors, and Members of the Shenandoah Valley Steam & Gas Engine Association wish to thank our wonderful Flea Market Vendors,  the Exhibitors, and our visitors who came out to our 2010 Show to make it the success it was.  It is our hope these photos will bring a memory of a wonderful time to each of you.  Thank you for visiting our Show.  Thanks for visiting our website!  Don't forget to sign our Guest Book!
