This event is solely for the purpose of providing the public with the opportunity to view and/or participate in the plowing exhibition. No fees are charged to view or participate in the activities.

This is an opportunity for individuals to relive a part of our heritage or to view for the first time that part of our heritage as it relates to methods of plowing the soil.


In 2005 participants came from over 170 miles to join the activities. Approximately 39 horses and/or mules and 24 tractors as well as a 5/8's scale steam engine were involved in the plowing of approximately 150 acres the two days.


In 2007 approximately 35 horses and/or mules, 50 tractors  were involved in plowing 180 acres the two days. 

Plans are to have the event again next year on October 18 and 19, 2008. The rain date will be the following weekend.
