The computer guy at Christa's firm gave her some tickets to a tractor show in Temple, Texas so we loaded up the car and headed out to see what it was all about. It was really interesting to see all of the old tractors, they were having a tractor pull when we arrived. There was also a car show featuring the Model T. They were celebrating the 100th anniversary. It was interesting to find out that a family friend, Duncan Seawright was instrumental in starting the show in the late 1960s. We saw him at a distance, but didn't get to speak to him. We had a great time checking everything out. After the show we headed back to Waco to the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo. Christa's firm was hosting their employees at the Rodeo that evening. We had a great time, we were sitting in a box on the second row from the arena floor and the horses would kick up dirt when they ran by creating mud pellets on top of our drinks (they had lids so we didnt eat mud!). Christa's parents met us at the Fair and we ate dinner and all went to the Rodeo.
This was just a cool shot of an old car and the engine shed
This is like the toy tractor Daryl had as a child
This was a really old tractor
This is a picture of Duncan watching the parade of tractors
This is the street named after our friend Duncan Seawright who founded the tractor show
It was the 100 year anniversary of the Model T and there were several to look at!
