4th of July in rural America

I know we usually talk about subs and ships here, but how about something different?

Living in a rural area I look forward to this every year. This year was no exception. In a small town north of here there is an antique tractor show for the holiday weekend every year. They also usually have tractor pulls. I have never went to the pulls. They also have fireworks on the Saturday night of the holiday weekend. That is when me and my brother went. We got to the show around 8pm. To my surprise they were still doing pulls. I grabbed a few videos of the pulls, but since we got there so late I got the last dozen or so pulls. I did manage to grab 72 pictures of the tractors. If it makes me a redneck then so be it!

I was using my new camera I got back at the end of March. It is a Canon Powershot SD1100 if anyone is interested. It takes great pics and video for such a small point-and-shoot. Well, enough rambling. Here are the pics.

I put them in a slideshow on my Photobucket account.

Here are the videos I uploaded.

Lastly, here is the video of the last couple minutes of the fireworks. They're not too bad for a small town of about 2000.

I hope you like the videos. They took forever to upload!
