Rough & Tumble 2008

This past Saturday Owen and I went to the annual Thresherman's reunion at Rough & Tumble in Kinzers. Owen's friend Jacob and his parents came along to enjoy the morning.

It's really a little boy's paradise. Garden tractor pulls, farm tractor displays as far as the eye can see... trains, trucks, dozers, cranes, hit & miss engines and lots of other stuff that puffs smoke, whistles and toots.

Here's the boys hanging out in a Rumley Oil Pull tractor wheel.

Mark is pointing out the coals under the burner box in this pumper.


The boys on the Martin's tractor train.

Riding the Little Toot Railroad!

The very popular Corn box... we made a pit stop here before AND after lunch.

Out in one of the back fields, they had an area set-up to play with vintage earth moving equipment. This was our last stop before we left for the day, but I think the boys would have stayed here for another hour if we let them.


It's definitely something to check out if you get the chance. They have an event calendar on their website: http://www.roughandtumble.org/
