Rain Rain Stay Away

There's been some rain at the show site, but so far not enough to cause concerns about limiting activities. Soil conditions at the site have been quite dry lately, so it will be able to soak up considerable rainfall before reaching saturation.

Besides, with a few hours dry weather, most of the harvest activities will be able to continue. With the amount of paved area, including runways, taxiways, and the apron in front of Hangar Two, plus the amount of space in the hangar, there will still be room for a tremendous show, and many activities off the turf areas should heavy rains appear. The tractor pull track has been solidly compacted and will shed water well, making the tractor pull nearly rainproof.

As of today, it's still "All Systems Go" at Rantoul's National Aviation Center for the third installment of America's Best Vintage Farm Show, the Half Century Of Progress III.
