Due to the number of photos taken at the show (about 300) I am dividing this into three pages.  Also as noted above the slide show is divided into six section of about 50 photos each.

The ATHS Annual Convention was held this year at the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA.  It really seemed that every square inch of the spacious grounds were covered with trucks of all sizes, types and shapes.  I go t to see some trucks that I had never heard of before and some interesting modifications to trucks that were fascinating.  I hope that you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

If you see your exhibit or machine and would care to drop me a line or two, or even a paragraph, about it I will be delighted to add your comments to this page.  Please sent to webmaster@neme-s.org   To identify a photo just hover your cursor over the photo and a tag should pop up.  Please use the last three digits of the tag to identify the photo. For  example if the tag came up  DSC03974.jpg (205067 bytes) the info I would need is 976.jpg. If this is a multi page unit the page number would also be useful.
