Highlights From the 2011 35th Anniversary Summer Show!

For 2011 we had a traditionally hot weekend, but still a great time was had by all!  There was an excellent turnout of exhibitors and improvements to the show grounds for all to enjoy.  The 2011 show feature was Allis-Chalmers tractors and equipment, and we thank everyone who brought their examples of Allis machinery.  A new food service line in the Snyder Pavilion allowed better service and was enjoyed by all.  Of course there was always something going on around the grounds with the usual wide variety of demonstrations and activities.  A special Thanks goes out to everyone who helped to make the 2011 show a great success!

	After looking rough for its debut last year, the Cheney, NE Post Office looked like new with its new roof and repaired exterieor.  For the first time, special Camp Creek Threshers post cards were available, including a special Camp Creek Threshers cancellation stamp.
There were many great examples of Allis-Chalmers tractors and equipment to be seen as our featured line for 2011.    Thanks to everyone who exhibited in the feature!

	If you're going to come to the show, be sure to come early for the Kiwanis Pancakes!
The flea market is always great to find unique items or collectibles.  Thanks to all of the vendors who participated!
	New Railroad Track has been added in front of the depot where it would have been when the depot was in use.  This year a couple vintage track speeders attended the show and were demonstrated running back and forth.
Another building improvement accomplished this year was the addition of the new awning and boardwalk on the General Store / Drug Store building.  Besides giving the store the correct historical appearance, the shade was welcome too!
	As usual there was a variety of old cars and trucks on display as well.  Of particular note was this 1936 DeSoto Airflow - a very unique car in its time, and one of only a dozen or so that still exist.  It goes to show you never know what surprises you'll find at the show!
The Dynamometer was also in use, in its new permanent location on the show grounds at the corner of the tractor display area.  A variety of steam engines and tractors were tested throughout the day on both days of the show - a very interesting exhibit for all who watched!

Most of all we'd like to thank all of our guests for coming and supporting the show, and we hope you'll join us again next year!
