BOND COUNTY ANTIQUE MACHINERY CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL SHOW

By Jim Russell

1001 McCambridge, Madison, Illinois 62060

Five years ago some fellows in the vicinity of Greenville, IL. began displaying some of their antique farm machinery at the Bond County Fair held in Greenville (50 miles east of St. Louis, MO.). Each year the display grew as the Fair Board provided a tent and 24 hour guards. The enthusiam was such, that by 1974 the Fair had constructed a 50' x 200' open sided building just for the antique machinery display. During the 1975 show it was decided to organize a club, which was done last November.

1976 show dates were August 21-27. Local machinery dealers donated their trucks to gather the equipment in for the show and return it home. In addition, local service companies donated gasoline for the engines and tractors. Their was a total of 160 gas engines, 50 tractors and 3 steam engines registered.818 of 2740 characters shown.
