I spent the weekend helping my little old hometown celebrate it's 125th anniversary. The hour+ long parade included a great selection of older tractors, the majority of which were still in their everyday clothes.

BTW: I remember the 75th celebration 50 years ago when my Dad worked to get a JI Case touring car running for the parade.
Hope all of you have happy memories and a good 4th.
