Hey, we're having an annual festival here in Southern Indiana this weekend. Its a really good time, with tons of tractors, hit/miss small engines, lots of antique farm machinery equipment, etc. I had my 4020 there on display last year. Played music in the gazebo two years ago.

Anyhow, the best thing about this year is that Case tractors, International gas engines and Case steam engines are the featured machines at the tractor display.

I hope some of my Case/Ingersoll brethren get a chance to come check this out this weekend. This is a very big, 3-day event that you'll be glad you came for. More info here: http://lanesvilleheritageweekend.org/site/

This past week, I fixed a dent and repainted my hood and done some touch-ups to my 4020 in preparation. I'm pumped up. I live like two miles from the event and just drive my tractor over. Its a good time, fellas. We're going to have good, mild 70-degree temps too.

Drove my tractor to the festival and nabbed a spot. As I was parking, a festival guy yells "Ingersoll Rand!" I yelled back, "You're half right!" One of his buddys heard us and said, "No, Bob it's pretty-much a Case".

Anyhow, they set me up near the big Case tractors. I think there were about 30 Cases there. One guy had one of only 2 surviving experimental Case tractors there...I think it was maybe a 300 if memory serves me correctly. I think they made 7 total back in the day. Pretty cool, it was stamped as such on its casting. I took pics with my phone but can't seem to figure out technology enough to get them posted tonight.

I'll figure it all out and shoot some pics of this festival tomorrow.

It starts this Friday and runs till Sunday. Make the drive, fellas.
