In 1988, Brad Smith helped us acquire our Cummer stationary engine from Tigerton Lumber Co. in Tigerton, WI. We took bids for a new Threshing building. We discussed building a train depot and worked on straightening the train tracks and painting the Cannonball.

Members pitched in to make Farm Progress Days at the Metcalf Farm a success (Jim Tesch's steam engine was among the engines displayed there). At the end of the year, we were talking about a building for our stationary engines.

Oliver/Hart Parr tractors were the feature of our show. Cindy Lux was our Reunion Queen.
