Engines and gardens
Come see steam and internal combustion engines at the Ashtabula County Antique Engine Club’s 28th annual show this Fourth of July weekend in Williamsfield. If you have roots in farming or are turned on by engines you’ll enjoy the event. See a restored railroad passenger depot, a small hit-and-miss engine, a newly acquired huge, 16,000 pound, 120 horsepower, two-cylinder, two-cycle diesel engine. The club is restoring this engine and generator so it can produce electricity again. A former backyard neighbor told me she enjoyed looking at my garden in the spring after the soil had been tilled and especially after a rain. She said, “The sight of the soil reminds me of my grandfather’s farm in northwestern Trumbull County.” Sue didn’t grow up on a farm but visited her grandfather’s place as a girl. Those childhood days so impressed her that even viewing my small garden stimulated memories of good times. She used to ride on the tractors and wagons. Those were days of fun for a city kid.
