Just finished two days of running the Best steam engine around at 100+ Years of Progress which hosted 2013 ACMOC National Show. I wanted to extend a thank you to Larry K. and the Harry Young Chapter for making the drive down, bring the kids gravel plant, and representing HCEA at the show. Thanks also goes out to Edgar B. and Roger A. for being present, getting pictures and taking a ride on the Best. A big Thanks goes out to Ken and Patti Eder and family for hosting such a great event this year in Carthage, NC. I hope in the coming year we will see a new HCEA chapter forming for North and South Carolina, and in a several more years the HCEA will hold its national show in Carthage, NC.
