I thought the Dover show was well run and I too was amazed at the 2255s in attendance. Even more amazing was the line of Hi crops across the road from Wally the hat man and I. The MMs on display were pretty cool too, from the weathervane tractor to the Mini Four wheel drive that had been made from a couple of MinnieMo tractors and looked as if the factory did it.
  The only downside I saw was when the tractor parade was lining up nobody dared to shut their tractor off for fear it wouldn't start again and left some of us choking on too rich exhaust fumes for a half an hour. I wouldn't complain but I couldn't just move. 
  The attractions nearby such as the Warther's carving museum and the Amish farm were well worth the price of admission. We got to see a little of Ohio such as the National Air Force museum and the Wright brothers museum in Dayton pretty cool stuff except for the empty lots where the Wright's house and Bike shop were removed along with a couple of feet of dirt underneath and hauled to Dearborn by Henry Ford. 
  The following weekend we attended the Oliver show in Goodells MI. What a nice park the show was held in although attendance was light and we had rain on Sunday it was a nice show none the less. After being gone for two weeks I was glad to be home! (I could hear my recliner calling me)
