Show festivities will include antique tractors and gas engine displays, a tractor parade, a kiddie pedal tractor pull, garden tractor fun pull, an operating sawmill, pie auction, toy show and a huge craft/flea market that is going to fill the Hileman Building. Also, several food vendors will offer pulled pork, BBQ and other crowd favorites.
