10 Tractors showed up on a beautiful day for a parade!
Mostly sunny & not too hot & a good position in the lineup!

Mike & his 1940 Allis-Chalmers held out til the end of the parade
then a piece of the fan broke off & went through the radiator.
Unfortunately, Mike needed a tow back to his trailer by a John Deere, escorted by a Farmall.

Too bad, Mike, that there was nobody to take our picture when the tractor umbrella came off it's pole
& slid down in front of our faces as we were going down Day Drive on our way home.
It would've been a great shot - me trying to get the umbrella out of the way
without letting go of it into traffic & without falling off my seat.
I guess we were playing "Blind Farmer...& his equally Blind Wife".

We followed the parade with a great lunch at Red Lobster
(although Mike, knowing he had a lot of work coming up on his Allis-Chalmers, ordered a full dinner)
