Hi, I just want to let you know that I added the event into the event calendar.
To see it, browse the calendar to May.

This looks like it was a fun and informative gathering.  I wish I could have been there. 

But...say it isn't so.  I've scanned through as many photos of this event as I can find.  I was shocked to see more CJ-2 Agrijeeps (4) than CJ-3As (1).  What's up with that? :o

I transported an AgriJeep to the show instead of a CJ-3A.

I did read that.  You had to have been in heaven being around all those "Xs". 

I'm just beginning to think  the folks out east don't do 3As...present company excluded.  I scan these events and just don't see a lot of them.  I can't remeber which other show I was looking through, but I saw very few 3As.  I don't think it was the Kempton event, but it was one of those other gatherings out that way.
