Our local town goes berzerk on July 4th with antique car shows, antique tractor show, crafts, musical performances, etc. (I once instigated an ugly truck contest. The only requirements were current plates and insurance, and the truck had to arrive and leave under it"s own power. The show actually made quite a hit.)

I think I"ll take that H to the antique tractor show on the 4th with a sign, "WORKS EVERY DAY. DOESN"T HAVE TIME TO LOOK PRETTY", and see what happens.
