Entertainment for the banquet is provided by Yesterdays Country, a trio that features classic Honky-Tonk and Country music. Dale Matthews fronts the band with his very special and unique brand of singing and playing, Mario Carboni on the piano and harmony vocals, and Sandy McWilliams on the drums. The above picture is of a reproduction 1906 Holt 111 steam tractor on tracks. It was the first track layer that was commercially sold in the US of A. This replica was built by Don Hunter and was finished in 2008. It took 9 years to build. The tractor is scheduled to be at Steam upthe first weekend July 30th and 31st. Front Bay Construction to be completed by Steam Up 2011 The board of directors has authorized up to $30,000 to finish the front bay of the museum and with volunteer assistance paint the finished walls in the second bay. A new "barrel" style ceiling will be installed that will follow the contour of the finish wall. A new 200,000 btu gas heater has been installed and is operational. While this probably won't be used at steam up, it will make winter use of the museum much more pleasant. Tool Board: A new tool board has been established on the north wall of the museum where it will contain a very large collection of special Caterpillar repair tools. Only one display has been completed, there are many more tools to be setup on display. These tools have been donated by Dave Smith, one of the founders of the museum. Library: The new library has been established and will be dedicated at the 2011 Steam Up. We have a very large collection of Caterpillar service and owner and parts manuals for Caterpillar machinery. This collection has also been donated by Dave Smith, one of the founders. Don Boman has been busy cataloging and organizing the thousands of documents and other media. Once completed, the list of documents will be added to the ACMM computer system for research purposes and will be available for searching from this website. Newsletter Archive
