The Labour Day weekend show will be featuring a cavalcade of ‘Classic Canadiana’ farm equipment and a special display and daily demonstrations of vintage racing cars from the Canadian Motor Racing Historical Society. “Every year, Steam-Era features a ‘theme’ tractor but we felt this was a special year in many ways and that it was time to give particular recognition to historical Canadian farm equipment manufacturers,’’ explains Steam-Era president Brad Clements. “We have a rich history of Canadian-engineered, designed and built farm equipment over the past century - the Masseys, the Cockshutts and the Waterloos. They’ll all be here, dozens and dozens of them, all shined to a gleam and running as good as new!” “We were really pleased to add the vintage racing cars to the show. Motor racing in Canada has a long, colourful history we can all take pride in.” Steam-Era also has a full slate of Canadian country-style entertainment - Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the Grandstand. For the first time, Friday night entertainment has been planned, featuring Canada’s Largest Travelling Barn Dance Show by the Barn Dance Historical Society. Saturday night features the return of the popular annual country and western talent contest which has grown steadily since its inception in 1976. Sunday night’s variety show is a time to jam, to sing along or sit back and enjoy a little old time country, some newer country and some gospel. A full slate of daytime activities is planned for the Labour Day weekend. Daily tractor parades, tractor pulls, demonstrations of powerful old steam engines and full scale and model gas engines make the Milton Fairgrounds roar with excitement. Steam-Era is run each year as a non-profit event by the volunteer members of the Ontario Steam and Antique Preservers Association. It is the largest show of its kind in eastern Canada. Visitors are invited to check out Steam-Era’s new website at www.steam-era.com . ATV stolen On July I at 4 p.m. an all-terrain vehicle was reported stolen from a residence on Cone. 11 in Hullett Twp.
