Page County Heritage Festival, 2010 - Part 2

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).

Last one, this little tractor train that pulls the kids around the grounds.  I hadn't noticed before but it is led by a New Holland from Louderback in Stanley.  This thing is always a hit!
