Chairman's Message
On behalf of the volunteers and staff of the 20th annual California Antique Farm Equipment Show, I welcome you.
When our gates open this year, we offer you an opportunity to step back in time to see actual equipment used to produce food and fiber products from the late-19th and first half of the 20th centuries. I invite you to enjoy other daily entertainment in our Kiddie Korral and Pavilion C.
The show provides entertainment for the entire family—from our Pedal Tractor Pull for children to the Antique Tractor Parade and Pull for antique tractor enthusiasts. On Saturday evening, we are pleased to have the Sons of the San Joaquin at the Steak Barbecue. You’ll want to be there when they perform their hits live at the Antique Show Steak Dinner.
Before you leave, make sure you get a dessert from Dolly’s Kitchen—perhaps a freshly baked peach cobbler with homemade ice cream.
Enjoy the show,
Don Nipp
