Photos from the Bernardston (MA-US) Engine Show

Hi Joe, the Windsor (VT) show is probably the model engineering show in conjunction with the Precision Museum in the fall?
The Bernardston (MA) show is Memorial day weekend -- Windsor is about an hour north of me, and Bernardston is about 15 miles south of me -- I'm 5 miles from the MA/VT border.
Black85vette, I sure wish I'd remembered to bring my camera Saturday, as there were many spectacular and unusual engines. But even that is a fraction of what normally appears. We had high winds, temps in the 30's and rain. Past years this show has been hot , and we are supposed to be getting temps in the 90's this week. Last night it was 31!
Here is a unique can crusher, and a video of most of the engines photographed above.

Yep, that's the one. Only been to it once, but thoroughly enjoyed it, and took advantage of the free entry to the museum that came with
the entry price to the show. With Bernardston only another hour south from there, it's certainly an easy trip from here in the Montreal area...
marked my calendar for next year.
Thanks! Joe

Joe, I may see you at the Windsor show this fall if you're down here.
The amazing thing about the Bernardston show is its free. When you park the attendants are volunteers for the church on whose property the show is held, and a donation is gratefully accepted, of course. But there is no actual show admission fee.
I still have some more photos, which will try to get up here tonight.
S Heslop and Krv3000, I bought a lottery ticket today, and if I win, I'll fly you guys over here for the next one!
