A quick post to highlight the tractor and steam engine portion of the Heritage Festival that was held last weekend. Everytime we've been to the fest, there are upwards of a hundred, or more, vintage tractors of all types assembled into a display right at the fairgrounds entrance. I've shown more photos in previous years - this time, only one focused shot on the group of Ford tractors I found.
Of course, there were John Deeres and Allis-Chalmers (there is quite a following of these distinctive orange machines in Page County!), and quite a few others besides. Although it happened after we left the fairgrounds, there was a tractor parade scheduled - I'm pretty sure that the Oliver shown here was going to participate.
There are usually several steam machines on display too. I particularly like to stop and watch the portable sawmills that are powered by these vehicles. We watched a couple of quarter-sawn planks get turned out (on our way to the Methodist Men's pulled pork sandwich booth).
