Happy 60th birthday to Smokey Joe! Our miniature steam
train, Smokey Joe, was built in 1961 by the Crown Metal
Products Company of Pennsylvania which built real steam
trains for amusement parks. So this year marks 60 years since
it was built. Our organization purchased the train in 1972. It
was hauled from its previous home in Haines City, Florida
to its new home in May of 1972. It was a busy time to get all
the track laid and the train ready to run by show time of that
year. We are excited that 2021 not only marks 60 years since
it was built, but also marks Smokey Joe’s 50th show at our
showgrounds. Many of you were little kids when you started
riding our beloved train and now bring your children and
grandchildren out to enjoy the excitement of riding behind a
real steam locomotive. Be sure to come out and take a ride. It’s
fun for kids of all ages! “Smokey Joe” is a replica of the Civil Smokey Joe
War era “General” locomotive.

There will also be steam engines, antique tractors, gas engines,
antique cars and steam models in operation. Among the
demonstrations will be wheat threshing, shingle sawing, sawing
with a miniature and full size sawmills, and rock crushing. A
daily parade of all equipment will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday and at 4:00 on Sunday.

There will be something for everyone in the large fl ea market
with over 125 dealers. Friday evening will feature the classic
country music sounds of Country Express and Flatland Drive
will perform bluegrass music on Saturday evening. Sunday

will feature music at 5:00. All shows are free. There will also be
church services Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. featuring Janie
and Mike Eskow with music by Rowdy Harrison.
