What a treat it would be to attend that show. I am about as far away as is possible, without getting my feet wet. Well, The Alaska/BC border is farther away. Your pictures will be something to look forward to.

Re: Feb. 2016

The entry form just came and I've attached them. I know most of the forum members are too far away to attend. It's a good show and growing. If you're near enough, try to come by. You'll have a great time.

Bill, I know you were at the show with your truck. I couldn't make it to Fla. this year due to my wife having a knee replaced a few weeks ago. Now for the big question, "Where's the pictures"? Dan

Yes, I made it to the show. I'll post the pictures tomorrow when I have better access to reducing photo file sizes.

Re: Feb. 2016

I promised photos and I'll deliver. Granted a lot of the photos are not of IHC, but the truck show has a diverse collection of attendees. Look beyond the subject trucks in the photos to the ones also in the background to get a good idea of what all attended. And know that I recognized many trucks from the two prior years and didn't take photos of them.

Dan, I'm sorry you couldn't make it. The sun was out as usual, upper '70's; gorgeous day and a great venue. Hope the misses is healing well.

Re: Feb. 2016

Because there is an antique tractor show going on simultaneously with the truck show, I'll share some of those photos as well.
The tractors in the Big Barn are not even half of the owners collection. He has at least 4 or 5 times as many IHC tractors in other buildings, all collector quality.

Re: Feb. 2016

Thanks for the pictures. I really like that gray cab over. I would have loved to have seen that one in person. Maybe next year if the good lords willing. Looks like the fellow did a real nice job with it.

My uncle had several of those sheep herder 's wagons. At one time he was running over 100,000 sheep on lease land. Thanks for the most enjoyable pictures. The weather looks good.
