parked in the "Trick Truck Corral" on Saturday. Didn't take much pictures but got a few that caught my eye (found your truck Ivel) & some to show how cool the Iowa state fair grounds is for a car show, Took a ride on the tram for an overall view. There were over 3400 cars & trucks!! If any body else has some pictures, feel free to add

yup, that's mine. I had a broken broom handle holding it up, but it didn't look right having a red broom handle, so i called my dad and asked him to bring a fence post.

The post almost got more comments than the BBC it was showing off
