Each year, as part of the Autumn Trails fall festival in Winnsboro Tx, one hundred or so Model A Fords gather for a parade down Main St. After parading through town, these fine autos sit on display right there in the middle of Main for about an hour allowing spectators time to visit with car owners and view the vehicles.
This year they gathered on Saturday, October 22, 2011 under a sunny blue sky which makes for a great display.
Some late season canna blooms are showing up and they sure are a beautiful addition to our dry brown landscape. Because these particular plants receive run off from the washing machine drain they are still nice and green. The rain falling today will help evey plant and tree and even grow some grass for the livestock before frost.
Our annual trek to the Winnsboro Tractor Show and Pull Event.
Found a 1950's Mack B61 rig pulling a gooseneck trailer hauling their tractors to the show. Also found a prime example of the Cub Farmall rigged up to the trailing two disc turning plow which we happen to have for our Cub.
About an hour later on the road into Mineola we drove alongside the Mack and got an ear full of old diesel power as he towed his Oliver Super99 home!!!
