Plowing Exibition | I GREW UP IN SOUTHERN OHIO AND GRADUATED FRO HIGH SCHOOL IN 1958. IN THE SPRING OF THAT YEAR THERE WAS A PLOWING EXEBITION IN PEEPLES OHIO. SEVERAL OF THE SENIORS FROM AROUND THE COUNTY, ICLUDING MYSELF, WERE EXCUSED FROM SCHOOL THAT WEEK TO DRIVE TRACTORS AND TAKE SPECTATORS AROUND TO THE DIFFERENT EVENTS. WHAT A GREAT WEEK IN MY LIFE. ALL THOSE BRIGHT SHINY NEW TRACTORS, AND WE WERE PRIVALEDGED TO DRIVE THEM. SOME OF MY FRIENDS WOULD MAKE THE FIFTY MILE TRIP FROM WHERE WE LIVED TO PEEBLES EACH MORNING AND CHECK OUT THE TRACTORS WE WOULD BE USING. WE WERE ALL GIVEN T-SHIRTS INSCRIBED WITH 'WORLD PLOWING CONTEST, AROUND THE PICTURE OF A TRACTOR PULLING A PLOW.I STILL HAVE MY SHIRT VERY WELL PRESERVED.
