The 36th Annual Flywheel Festival got underway in Houston Friday and Saturday with thousands gathering in Joe Brigance park to eat a little, sing a little, buy a little and talk a lot about tractors, flywheels and a time gone by. “We’ve been doing this for a lot of years and it never gets old to us,” said Harry Collins, spokesman for the Flywheel Festival.
