Not sure this is the spot for this, but here goes....West Liberty has a Tractor Fest every labour Day weekend. Finally got a little spending money and drove down there today ( day late, oh weelll) Yes, there were at least a 100 tractors, this is the overflow area...sunny day out, some might need a hat? But, I had the old Boonie hat on, so I'm off to hunt some rustiness... Hmm, got ones just like those at home, PASS Onwards... Hmm, these were priced like they were made of gold. Spokeshave was $40! Yikes! Don't even ask about them $35 planes... Sights are set on a different tent.. Well, it wasn't anywhere in this tent...Ah, another 1/4 of a mile, things were looking up...a bit. Close, but not quite there, yet.. Hmmmm, maybe inside the store? Hmm, don't need a mallet, could have had a Keen Kutter # 8c, but I didn't have the $110 on me. The one to the left is a #6.....Place has three tents set up in line, three rows of goodies, three more rows outside the tents, with more goodies, and a pair of old haywagons with more on them. I spent part of my $50 allowance in here.... Front to back: Yankee push drill, by Stanley. A Stanley Square, with STANLEY cast in the handle.. And bringing up the rear, and costing the most.. A Keen Kutter 6" sweep brace. Will have to dig around a bit, for info on that chuck...Millers Falls, maybe? Price tag says $25......I'm getting hungry, food lines are all 20to 40 people LONG, and hard to tell which line you'd be standing in. Didn't really need any of these.. Or these.. So, somewhere behind that truck, in the midst of almost a thousand vehicles.. Is my van......2+ miles of walking through all the vendors.....time to go home..

Mark your calenders! A Tractor Fest in West Liberty, OH, What is so special about an event that has a few hundred tractors running around? It is over in the Vendor's Rows! Yes, ROWS. Lots of old tools both for sale, and some even just walk around (me, that is) I think i posted a few photos from last years event. It is held every Labour Day Weekend. Besides, less than 10 miles away are a few of MY favorite shopping spots..... Lion's Park, near the intersection of St Rt 68 and St Rt 245. Maybe we get get John out there doing some fast pitch softball??? Just a heads up..... That Ron's flatbed back there? The Moody-mobile? oh, right, this is about tool buying This vendor had THREE tent in a long line. And this was just a small sample of the planes....
