20th Annual Jay Peanut Festival, Jay, Florida

Hi all,

I just wanted to let anyone nearby know that this coming weekend is the Jay Peanut Festival just South of Jay, Florida. My dad and I usually display a couple of his tractors there. This year we are taking his Ford 961 and his 8N. The other tractors there belong to the farm's owner. He was formerly the owner of the local John Deere dealer so he has mostly John Deere tractors on display. Some visitors complained about all the green and yellow tractors so he bought some other brands and restored them, too. My dad's tractors are usually the only Fords there and still draw quite a few lookers in that see of green and yellow.

Rodman,

It's just what it sounds like. They take an anvil and shoot it out of a cannon. It's an awsome site! If the loud boom and shock wave weren't enough, seeing that heavy anvil fly high and far through the air will really impress you. If you have never experienced it you have got to see it in person! The first ones in the video aren't too good but some of the later ones are much better. Sill, you have to be there to experience the loud boom and percussion.
