Bigger and Bigger Antique Tractor Show underway today

14th Annual Antique Gas Engine & Tractor Show gets underway at 10amCT, today, Saturday, June 19, 2010, at Garrison Construction Co. in Adair County at 6960 Greensburg RD, Greensburg, KY, between Columbia and Greensburg, KY on KY 61

By Ed Waggener

Today's 14th Annual Russell Creek Gas Engine & Tractor Show appears poised to go into the record book as at least the second biggest one ever.

It will be hard to top the record 2005 crowd and record number of exhibitors inspired by the show's national exposure on RFD-TV that year, but one record, the number of Lewis Garrison tractors in the exhibit, is assured: There are 95 this year, with the addition of two which are worth the trip to Clay Ridge in and of themselves: A 1938 Silver King, and a Gibson, manufactured in Seattle, WA.

In addition to Garrison's tractors, exhibitors from several states will be pouring into the Adair County Village of Clay Ridge, located on KY 61 near the Green County line. Garrison expects 75 to 100 to be here this morning.Some will be driving the equipment from local points; many others will be bringing the machines, as many as four major pieces per transport, aboard specially made carriers.

Perpetuating the Dream of Perpetual Motion

An Adair County Legacy: A modest proposal to observe "Lingan Selby Day," on the birthday of Perpetual Motion Machine developer Lingan Selby

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I always thought Mr. Selby's grave marker should read "Perpetually at Rest," but maybe that's just the orange and black mushrooms talking. And too, I've often wondered if that worthy gentleman would have had greater success had he been a lawyer. They're forevermore making motions...

And on the back, "Quixotic questers never quit."

It's at this point that my mother-in-law's daughter would kindly suggest, with the able assistance of a two by four, that I up the dosage of my meds.

s/Jim
Proud member of the Lingan Selby Perpetually Perplexed Fan Club
According to local legend, Lingan Selby is the only one of Adair County's Perpetual Motion Machine inventors to die for the cause. According to lore, one of the Famous Five Hill Bros. of Gradyville, KY, invented one, but destroyed it before presenting it to the world because it was "of the devil." John Marshall Clemens nearly lost a family while working to perfect the machine which killed Selby, when the father of Mark Twain went down into northern Tennessee to fulfill Selby's dream. And of course, the quest for perpetual motion is alive, somewhat, in the development of the Dyno-Rev by Mark Karnes, though it is not purely a self-sustaining device. -EWLingan Selby's final resting place, Union Cemetery, photo by Tony Harvey
