grassfyre @ clifford tractor pull - pt 1

i didnt think that this event would need to be a 2 part post, but there are just so many cool tractor photos that cutting it short is not an option

here we go
i found out that my dads band.... grassfyre, was playing at this event


in this link you will find a schedule of events where it lists bluegrass festival sunday 2:00 pm
pooch JP and pooch raspberry met me there as they have known my dad since we were teens
i decide to surprise my dad as this event is only about one hour drive and i havent seen my pa and step mum in a long time;
maybe almost a year.  i dont know.

here are a few shots of the tractor pull
no, thats not my dad....but they are cute

its a pretty serious event in these parts
check out the rules

now just a few fun pics of tractors.  they are just so pretty and colourful

 OK.... i think thats quite enough fun for one day

more tractors and the grassfyre portion of this event to follow in a couple days
soak these up first haha
arent they awesome?

all for now.....

  4. I had no idea about this variety! For me a tractor was just a tractor and never paid them much attention, but from now on I have to look at them with different eyes. Thank you! :-)

  10. Regarding your comment:
    There is this probably american movie where a guy wearing a circus outfit(?) walks on a wire above Niagara Falls. I was just a kid but I can still 'see' this scene. Years later I watched 'Niagara' starring Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten on tv and I thought I couldn't miss these falls but haven't visited them so far...
