Hi Folks,

The "official" numbers from the Portland 1999 show are...

2382 gas engines  (280 Indiana Built)
649 tractors  (85 Odd Ball & Orphans)
325 Garden Tractors
216 Model Engines
42 Model Tractors
19 Antique Trucks
27 Antique Cars
13 Model Steam Engines
7 Full Size Steam Engines
443 Miscellaneous Exhibits

These numbers are only those who REGISTERED.  Lots of exhibitors only
bother to register one of the engines in their display.  And these
figures don't include the hundreds of engines, etc. that were in the 
sales area.  Fair to middlin' size show fer sure.

They had exhibitors from 37 states in the US, Canada, Australia, and Sicily.
And visitors from the Netherlands and England.

BTW, there are only 308 days, 15 hours, and 43 minutes until Portland 2000!
Plan to be there.

See ya,
