Tractor show and tractor pull - Lots of pics and videos!

[JayC]

Yesterday me and my brother went to the local annual tractor show for the 4th of July. It is held every year in the small town of Port Hope north of here along with fireworks. We got there in the evening at about 8:00pm. To my surprise, they were still doing tractor pulls. I got some video of the final pulls for the day. Most of the videos are of the 4x4 tractor class. They usually aren't allowed, but this year they let them compete for exhibition purposes. It was pretty cool to watch. I took 72 pictures in all of the antique tractors. I won't post them all on the forum. Here is a slideshow:

Thanks. When I take pictures I try to take pictures with as few people as possible. If someone was going to be in a shot I wanted I came back a few minutes later when they were gone. Unless I am taking a picture of someone directly, I don't want them in my pictures. I feel the same way about videos, but since I got there so late in the day I didn't really have a choice on that one.
