I don't know what will be on display. Used to be they would say what was going on, now it just says show dates.
It always has a flea market. Sometimes it's tractor pulls and hit and miss engines. No idea now.
Maybe @Alcap knows. He's a member.

Not me, too much smelly work. And when you are new, you get to clean the grease traps. That'll make you puke your guts out and you'll stink for a week or two. And you have to throw away everything from that job that you wore, and the tools will be an unpleasant reminder of that job.

I used to do the trash man job on our plant, dragging around and dumping into the compactor 4’x5’x6’ industrial garbage hoppers.

Fun job and not as nearly as disgusting as you would think as it was mostly just assembly line waste.

Except for the “Inedible” pickup from the cafeteria. This is the cooking oil and everything that is out of the grease traps and fryer.

Fresh out of the kitchen wasn’t bad, but the inedible drum it went into was straight out of hell.

The bright side of this duty is if anyone ****** me off I could occasionally drop the drum off near their machine and make then ponder where their life went wrong.
