A little information about our club
The first annual Oblong Antique
Tractor and Engine Show was held Aug. 8, 9, 1986 at the Crawford
County Fairgrounds.
We had about 150 tractors and around 150 engines in the first
show. We had a fun tractor pull that year instead of the different
classes that we have now.
The first show in 1986 began a lot of traditions still continuing
today.
Continuing to this day at the show are the many exhibits of
antique tractors and engines with several running for display
and performing chores for every one to watch.
Other events still carried out today include the Farm Toy Exhibition
Show on Saturday and Sunday, the annual Parade of Power on Saturday
and Sunday, an Antique Tractor Pull on Friday night, a Flea
Market and Old Iron Dealers held on all 3 days of the show,
Church Services Sunday morning, and
a Kiddy Tractor Pull on Saturday.
We have exhibitors and vendors coming from as far away as Florida
and Texas to participate in our engine show.
We now have a 3 power house's that have lots of operating engines
in them. They include Hercules, International and Superior to
mention a few. You can view pictures of them at the links above.
Be sure to come and support our club and community at the annual
show.
Held at the Crawford County Fairgrounds, in Oblong, Illinois.
