In many parts of the country, groups of people gather together to share their enjoyment of historic farm equipment. Preserving and restoring these fine machines requires both skill and dedication.

In this show, you’ll see a parade of antique power, small gas engines hard at work, a threshing bee, and tractor pulls. A highlight of the show is a logging demonstration that includes unloading, cutting, and planing.
