Part 2

Tractor Pull - One of the most popular events is the tractor pull, where antique tractors have to use their power to pull a progressively more resistant sled down a track.
Railroads - A big attraction at almost all Rough and Tumble events is the two steam railroads on the grounds, the narrow gauge Shay and the smaller favorite, the Little Toot.
Threshing - This annual four day event is called the "Threshermen's Reunion" for a reason. Every day of the reunion, there is at least one series of demonstrations of threshing wheat or another grain, starting with entirely hand methods and proceeding through horse-powered threshers and ending with the steam or gas engine powered huge threshing machines, all in action, up close and personal.
Saw Mill - The steam powered saw mill is another R&T favorite. One or more steam traction engines power the mill while operators take logs from the woods and cut them into boards for use in construction. The scrap pieces and bark are further cut and eventually used as kindling for starting a fire in the fireboxes of the steam traction engines on the grounds.
Parade of Power - One of the most memorable events at the Threshermen's Reunions is the Parade of Power.
Tips on viewing Photo Albums
Since our album for Day 3 of Steam School 2005, we have been using a "load ahead" feature in our photo albums.
If you use the "Next Photo" link at the top right corner of each photo, then it will pay you to continue looking at the current photo until the activity display at the bottom of your browser indicates the browser is done loading images. Then, when you click "Next Photo", it will appear almost immediately, and the browser will start loading the next sequential image. To put it simply, wait for the browser to complete loading images before clicking the "Next Photo" button.
