Agricultural Museum Notes by Mrs Lloyd Tennis
Despite Sunday wind and sand a crowd visited the museum with many men braving the weather while youngsters circulated about. Angels and Bill McTavish of Miami stayed active tuning engines as Joe Tucker of Portage displayed his locomotive. George Down and sons presented their steamer with Mr Dunn of Portage assisting. Carl Anderson of Austin donated a steam engine and locals helped move it home under its own power for cleaning and painting as the fall show approaches. Will Stanger, once a director, after TB cure, has returned with family to Oakville Portage and visits the museum. A hand wringer for a washing machine was among new small items displayed this week.
