In 1961, Jim Layton took his newly restored Frick traction

engine out in the field by the road and threshed a little wheat.
A few neighbors, as well as some passers-by, stopped to help

and watch. The next year, neighbors urged him to do it again.

They wanted to help relive their past again and others, who had
missed the previous threshing, wanted to see it too. It didn’t
take much to convince him to do it again.
From that one afternoon with one steam engine and one
thresher, the show began to grow with other people bringing
tractors, gas engines and other farm equipment. Th rough the
years, people have attended the show from all over the U.S. and
many foreign countries.

This year there will 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 miniature and full size sawmills, and rock crushing.
