Pictures from the recent Pottsville engine and tractor show in Grants Pass, Oregon. Pottsville is a historic park and the folks running the place have been wonderfull hosts to the EDGE Branch #9 event for many years now. This was my first time to this show as I am new to the hobby. The grass was mostly green with lots of trees and misty mountains all around. There was plenty of room for us EDGE members to set up campers and tents and to let the exhibits spread out a bit. We had rain on and off, which didn't appear to dampen anyones spirits, and Sunday turned sunny and warm. There were plenty of spectators, lots of vendors, live music, food, many trailers full of odds and ends for sale, several raffle prizes including a restored 5hp engine. We also had tractor pulling and a tractor parade with the announser giving the owners name and statistics for each tractor as it passed the stands. We even had a peddle tractor pull for the kids. I will definitely see this show again next year.

Scott, thanks for the pics, any idea of the maker of the funny cam engine?

What an interesting thing - the only other instances of face cam actuated valves I can think of are the Dummond Willing worker and a few motorcycle engines.
That's a useful term, Nick, "face cam actuated". I'll have to sprinkle that into conversations to impress the unknowing. ;-)
I've not seen a Drummond, so I'll look out for one.
