This is a great event for the whole family. Minter farms is a Christmas tree farm just south of Atlanta between I-75 and I-20. The Expo features Antique tractors, Hit and Miss engines, working Saw Mil, Grist Mill as well as antique Trucks. The event is free to the public. Several of us attended the 2022 expo and and a tremendous time. thumbs_up thumbs_up

Well Folks, I just checked the forecast for this weekend, looks like 100% rain Fri, Sat and Sun... My boss Lady says NOPE. I was really looking forward to this Expo, there was just so much to see and do.

I live a little less than 20 miles from Minters Farm.

Weather Channel says rain all day tomorrow. 96%.
Saturday 50% rain in the morning, then cloudy.
Sunday 20% chance with cloudy skies.

We can only go on Saturday. So if it stops before noon, we might go, since we will not be parking in the field this time.

If it rains all day tomorrow and into Saturday morning, it is gonna be a mess 😵‍💫😵‍💫

There are only Bolts here including mine. There was a 72 C10 over by the sawmill ,but I guess I had bolts on the brain 😵‍💫😵‍💫😁

I drove a truck like this old stake body as a young teen. Getting up hay & firewood. Then a guy that ran a horse farm near us bought it from my dad and I drove it working for him .


This old truck was pretty cool 👍

This yellow Ford was quite a looker too.

Fattboyz, you know we are only supposed to post pics of Trucks, Chevy Trucks... I guess it will slide this time as you were the only one to make the event and did take pictures. Don't do it again or I'll get in trouble . nono
