The Hartford Old
Engine and Tractor show began in 1997. The show from its beginning
has been very family oriented which comes with a more relaxed and slower
pace. The idea was to have antique tractor and engine collectors gather
and show how agriculture has developed over the years. Some of
shows attractions include but are not limited to; demonstrations of
threshing of wheat grown at the grounds, sawing logs provided by the
members, planing the lumber and a shingle mill. Homemade ice cream and
kettle corn are made daily at the show too.
This show started out as a Tractor Pull on Labor day and grew into four day Labor Day weekend event. Some of the highlights of the growth since we started consists of hosting the State IH show in 2005. We also added a farm stock and antique tractor pull. In more recent times our show opens with a tractor parade through Hartford to the fairgrounds and ending the weekend with tractors participating in the Annual Lawrence Ox Roast Labor Day Parade. Our club tries to participate in local festivals and parades. 2008 Board Members:
