A Lambton County tradition celebrating steam-powered farming, and other vintage equipment, returns this weekend to the fairgrounds in Forest.
The event officially opens at noon Friday and continues Saturday and Sunday with displays of antique and vintage farm engines and machinery, as well as live musical entertainment, children’s activities, vendors and more.
“We’re trying to get the young people in to see how farming was 70, 80, 100 years ago,” association president Dale Hillier said.
“We are the oldest steam show in Ontario, I believe.”
The reunion dates back to 1957 and an event held at a Corunna-area farm with several Sawyer-Massey steam engines and a John Goodison steam engine on display.
More than 500 people attended that first year and the reunions continued and were later held at fairgrounds in Brigden before moving to Forest several years ago.
