See antique farming equipment in action this weekend

FRANKLIN GROVE – If you like Case tractors you won’t want to miss the Living History Antique Equipment Association’s 43rd Equipment Show, Aug. 5-6.

This year’s event, held at the LHAEA grounds in Franklin Grove, 1674 Whitney Road, is featuring Case tractors, but with a standing invitation for all brands.

“At the show, you can view row after row of antique tractors and farm equipment, as well as witness threshing demonstrations, rock crushing, sawmill operations, potato digging, flour milling and many more activities from the past,” said Tom Brown LHAEA member. “There are also a number of games and contests to keep your youngsters entertained.”

The show is open to the public and LHAEA memberships also are available for $10 a year, which includes club newsletters and an annual picnic.
