I just returned from the Natl. Farm Machinery Show this afternoon and must say how upbeat everyone was that stopped by the HPOCA booth on Wed.  NOT ONE WORD of complaint was uttered, only COMPLIMENTS and ENCOURAGEMENT!!! From the attitude of the people that stopped by, the HPOCA board is supported by the membership.  
 Among those working the booth were Terry Allen, Larry Gay, Jerry Ellis and his wife, and Andy Blackwood .
 The 2003 Show book from Penfield seemed to be the hottest item, although all sales seemed brisk.
