Every year, to celebrate our anniversary, we go to the local threshing show. It's antique tractors, horse drawn implements, old houses, good food, a flea market and threshing machines. I took a mess of pictures this year and so sit back and enjoy the show.
There were more vendors at the flea market this year than in years past. We really didn't find anything that we needed, a coule of antique wrenches and a couple of books.
This is the row of antique John Deeres-the green row.
The red row.
I dream about owning this tractor. Isn't it beautiful?
A nicely restored Silver King.
A Waterloo Boy kerosene tractor.
My honey took this one. He is fond of draglines.
This is hard to see, but it's a steam tractor driving a wood planer.
A view of the fields and some horses.
Can you guess what this is??
A 1917 Dane Baler. This is a stationary baler with hand tie wires.
A beautiful set of horses.
This guy was my favorite, a dappled gray.
This is an old steam powered generator from an electric plant. This thing shook the ground when it ran.
Horses pulling a one bottom plow. These guys can really move.
Do you know what this steam tractor is being used for? (Check out the boxes by the garbage can.)
Yep, that's corn in that garbage can and this is the finished product. It was delicious.
So there's my day at the show. I went a bit crazy with the camera, but I hope you enjoyed the trip. I forgot to get a picture of a threshing machine....

We were going to go to the Now Then Threshing show but missed it again this year. Sounds like you had a fun day!
My dad is an avid antique tractor fan, so shows like this aren’t new to me. However, these old tractors still amaze me, as always. Like classic cars, they have this fascinating appeal. I guess, just like my father, I’ll grow old in love with these big machines. :’)
