During the Winslow Country Fair day the local Lions Group invite owners of vehicles of any sort and size, with Wheels on to bring them to the show and present them to the show visitors. The show has grown and grown over the last 5 years and is, for us, a most enjoyable experience.

Arriving at around lunchtime we have never been held up in a traffic jam - straight in and parked up in the show area. Unlike the County Show a few days later, located on the same road, where there will be miles of stationary traffic queuing to get in.
Before getting into the cars on show here are some images of the whole show to give you some perspective on the event.

Now! Where did we put that Widget?
In the Vehicle Show area, there was a magnificent display of Agricultural Machinery both static and in action.
The star attractions were the Drum Threshing Machine and The Reaper, both which were working away all day. The Thresher won the prize.

Then it was time to pack up and go home.
The show was over for another year and at 5pm everyone is clearing their stands.
And after a quick Clean and Polish, The Mog is back in its Oh So Small Garage once again
And the Dog is Shattered from the trauma of the journey home.
Another successful day out is over and we have to look forward to being able to go again next. year.
