REMINDERS FROM THE ALLIS-CHALMERS CHAIRMAN: SCOTT RUTLEDGE
 Please park trailers in the big parking field or the designated area behind the fairground. No trailers are to be parked on the showground.
 We will need help in the parking lot, it looks like we may need to use the big field to park spectators and trucks and trailers, please see Henry Walker to help with this.
 The entire hill from the campers to the buildings is reserved for Allis-Chalmer displays only.
 If you would like to attend the Allis-Chalmers banquet, please make your reservations ASAP. You can make these by calling Camelia Morrison at:
 (704) 223-0769. The price is $15 per person
 We are getting calls from all over the United States, Canada and foreign countries. It looks like this will be a big show, so let’s give them our Southern Hospitality and have a good time.
