Miami Valley Steam Threshers Association, Inc.
Yellowstone National Park Transportation, a red mail coach that took mail from Circleville to Waverly and a beer truck were a few of the 'carriages' on display. An ambulance and a band wagon were two more of the unusual 'carriages'.
Buzz's Green Limousine Service - a creative use for a manure spreader.
Now here is something you don't get to see every day. This is an ingenious device that belonged to the grandfather of the man on the left of the picture. It's a snow fence maker. His grandfather got the slats from Canada by the boxcar load. The wire is hand wound on spindles at the top. Every time a slat goes through, the spindles with the wire rotate three times; then another slat goes through. It is powered by a hit and miss engine.
This is downtown, downtown Plain City.
