A rustic festival for all the family, entry includes access to all the exhibit buildings and much more. In front of the grandstand, a free show takes place each afternoon featuring a parade of vintage farm equipment, contests such as stooking and demonstrations such as sheaf tying. Gas and steam-driven threshing machines compete against each other, and a rodeo entertains the evening crowds. Events draw to a conclusion with a free open-air dance on Sunday evening. Fiddling competitions are among the many musical offerings. Parking is provided on site, with a shuttle to the showground, and camping is also available
