Swap talk

Kevin Johnson of Pendleton shows a part to potential customer Joel Taylor of Redkey on Thursday morning during the first day of the Tri-State Gas Engine and Tractor Association’s Fall Swap and Sell Meet at the Tri-State grounds. Johnson is a regular at Tri-State’s fall show and has attended the spring swap meet, but this marks his first visit to the fall swap meet. He explained that he has shifted priorities and is trying to be more of a seller than a buyer. The swap meet continues today and Saturday at the Tri-State grounds, 1010 N. Morton St., Portland. Admission is $5. (The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney)
