Sounds like it might be a down year as several regulars claim that they are not going this year . I will be there Friday and Saturday. Forum meet and greet at 11am both days Exibition building, East Central location on the grounds. Hope to meet up with several of you there. Thursday and Sunday you are on your own.

Driving up Friday morning early, heading home Sunday. See you guys there! Mike C. has been giving me heck about the tires on my 45 so I showed him a picture in Norm's book of one with 15x28, (18.4x28) tires.

Warning, don't stay in the Knights Inn in Litchfield. Went and bought a sleeping bag. At least the air conditioner works and the shower was hot. Live and learn and book early

Stopped by the fairgrounds late this afternoon. Quite a few tractors already on the grounds . Looks like I got a little ahead of myself saying it was going to be down year. Talked to several people Charlie Widlund, Dave the plow man , Matt Scott, Mark and Julie Everett from England, Norm Mienert . Ted J and I went to dinner so all in all it's turning out to be quite an event. Hope to see a bunch more tomorrow. I will get a picture of the forum meeting and post.

Good showing for the 1st day. I would say tractor count is comparable to last year. Think attendance may be off a little but it was Friday. Will see what tomorrow brings

Just got home. Left Litchfield Mn.at 5:30 am .Ran down to Duane Renko's "Auntwayne" farm outside Edwardsville Illinois to deliver some plow frame parts ,heavy to say the least. Be careful what you promise people. Duane took care of me and glad to try and help out a fellow AC enthusiast. Got a garden tractor engine in the back of the truck for Den So.Il. Again a lot heavier than imagined. Again glad to help but be careful what you promise.
Special shout out to all involved with the Upper Midwest AC club and the Orange Spectacular for another fantastic show. Always see something new and meet great people . Can't wait for next year

I don't know which I laughed harder at, Lon's BS or Michael Vs comment!! It was a great show and I'm glad I was there. Darrell G and I are the oldsters that just keep showing up hoping somebody will buy us an ice cream..... Then Skip Welte reminded me of when I was a kid....a SNO-CONE... Thanks Skip! Hope to see more of the 'Misfits' next year.

As shown in these videos, these were my two favorite Orange Spectacular items this year: • 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚖𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜 • 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆! 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚖𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚜I had seen that Picnic Table parked in front of the 4-H Eatery, with three men sitting upon it's benches, dining upon some victuals recently purchased from within . . . From a 𝙹 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙻 𝚅𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚘𝚜 video where the table
is just cruising down the (fair grounds) street . . .  I have made a MEME from a ScreenShot of Mike's power horse Video.
