Time for the Northern Illinois Steam Show again. This is how I went.
Lotsa tractors, smoke, roast corn, smoke, engines, smoke, flea market, and smoke. New this year was the 'Prairie State Rail Road'. It's a 7 1/2" gauge working line, running both steam and diesel locomotives. The ties and rail looked 'dainty'. Also new was an exhibit of several Whizzers, one of which was a tandem.
The flea market was good, I scored a NIB 12V fan for the low buck AC unit for all of five bucks. Mrs. C got two pounds each of fresh ground wheat flour and corn meal for four bucks.
The rest of the pics are here.

My left foot is sore but it has been over eight weeks since I wore a shoe on that foot.
