There were acres and acres of brightly painted and highly sophisticated machines and equip- ment that probably, except for the equally sophisticated price tag might be very hard to resist. Many farmers from this area were nc doubt surprised to see on display as an attraction, a home made tractor and one of a kind from Blackstock ingeniously constructed from re cycled automobile and motorcycle parts some of them seventy year: old. "'Mightie Gertie from the Nine- teen Thirties' as she was nicknam- ed for the show, was found residing in a barn, her cleats unturned for many years when a local farmer was disposing of his early boyhood inventions prior to moving to the ci- ty. When Bruce Mountjoy saw this machine, he recognized it as a very unique example of Farm Folk Art born of necessity and a true piece of ingenuity often seen back in the Dir- ty Thirties. At the show it brought back many memories to the oldsters and a great deal of curiosity to the youngsters.
