Our Yadkin County Steam and Gas Show was held again at Sonny
Howell’s on June 4, 1983. We had approximately 75 gas engines
at the show this year. We had more tractors this year than we ever
have had and we would like to thank all the exhibitors for bringing
their displays.
A couple of new displays that we got ‘going’ were our
Turner Threshing Machine and the Baker Fan.
Sonny built a small pull sled that the children pulled with
their pedal tractors. We had a lot of children to participate and
they really seemed to enjoy it.
As usual we had the sawmill going along with the rock
crusher.
We hope to have the Frick traction engine going by our next show
June 2, 1984. Sonny is building a new Oil Pull tractor for the show
and wants all the collectors that have built the Oil Pull-type
tractors to come to the show next year and be in the parade.
