There will be a display of many antique tractors and engines. Live demonstrations teach attendees about farming and the equipment farmers used long ago…silage chopping, stationary hay bailing, wheat thrashing, blacksmithing, etc.

Hands-on exhibits are a favorite…wringer-type washing machines, hand water pumps, corn shelling and other equipment.

Demonstrations and exhibits continue for the general public on Saturday, September 27th, with a Kiddie Pedal Tractor pull and other fun filled activities for families. Gates open both days at 9:00am.
