Hey Yuze Gize, Here is my most up to date list for those confirmed to the Shake N Take 2011 Hormel Bash at the Beach. The cost to those on this list will be $10.00 AT THE CLINIC DOOR. The

Here is a great video showing a day in the life of a CO OP in one of Canada's wooden elevators.  Gives a good modeling insight of how it was done.   http://www.nfb.ca/film/grain_elevator/   -Kevin
