Here's part 2 of 2 of a video of the 1992 Historical Engine Society's annual show. It was originally recorded by Jan and Paul Shimek. They were kind enough to give me permission to digitize and upload it for all members to view. The show was held in July of 1992 at the Century Village Museum located in Burton, Ohio. If you look closely, you'll see some newly planted trees in some of the scenes. Those trees are now a foot or two in diameter! :=) You may notice some old friends coming into view from time to time. I believe that's Hank Mansfield with one of his John Deere unstyled L at about 0:32. Hank reappears at 7:15 with his LA. Howard Murphy and his train appear at about 2:32. Brian Baxter appears briefly at 5:52. If you see someone you recognize, please let me know so that I can tag them! Leave a comment below! Have fun! To Jan and Paul...a big thank you!

Paul pointed out to me that Brian Baxter appears around 3:04 of the video astride his Case tractor. If you see someone you recognize, please let me know so that I can tag them! Leave a comment below!

Historical Engine Society's 2013 parade around Burton, Ohio on July 28th, 2013. This was the 43rd Annual Antique Power Exhibition on the grounds of the Century Village Museum in Burton, Ohio. The feature tractor was Minneapolis-Moline and the featured engine was Maytag. The parade was led by a beautifully restored Minneapolis-Moline UDLX. Thanks for watching!
