Biggest Crowd Ever At Melson Power Show

Saturday~ July 9, 2011  The largest  crowd to ever attend the  Melson Power Show! 


What a great night for pulling and racing!  
Rain showers the evening before made track conditions just right so there was no need to wet things down.  Just a few runs to flatten the dirt, few holes to fill in and set up for the evening was completed.

Even with the rain the night before that  day had been a hot one but the shade trees provided alot of cool comfort and everyone knew it! 

The same great crowd of families and friends were there all set up at  the picnic tables on in lawn chairs waiting for the events to begin.

This particular Saturday Dave and Bill threw out some bales of straw for the kids to sit on  and I have to admit that was a good idea.  They loved it!  And the whole event keeps getting better...
One thing to  remember:  Melson  Power Show is not just for the young. 

Mixed in the crowd were so many new faces and it was great to see the older retired folks out for the evening.  The group of retired gentlemen seated behind me seemed to really enjoy everything! (Even the food).  That's wonderful to see!  They even had their own cheering section! 




 I must give a shout to the emcee of the evening because he simply kept the show going, was never at a loss for words and brought the evening to end without being long and drawn out!


I still have more video  and photos so check back real soon.............4 wheelers, lawn tractors, dirt races, tractor pull.....
