THE SOUNDS OF PISTONS AND EXHAUST ARE SURE TO BRING BACK SOME CLASSIC MEMORIES FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE ANDERSON COUNTY FLYWHEELERS GAS ENGINE & TRACTOR SHOW THIS WEEKEND AT LAKE GARNETT PARK. THE THIRD ANNUAL EVENT CELEBRATES THE GLORY DAYS OF VINTAGE FARM EQUIPMENT AND WILL RUN FROM 8:00 TO 5:00 SATURDAY AT THE PARK. IT WILL FEATURE ALLIS-CHALMERS TRACTORS AND EQUIPMENT AND MAYTAG ENGINES, BUT ALL DISPLAYS OF MAKES AND MODELS ARE WELCOME. FOOD VENDORS AS WELL AS MERCHANDISE AND A FLEA MARKET WILL ALSO BE FEATURED.
COMBUSTION ENGINES APPEARED REGULARLY IN FARM MAGAZINES IN THE MID-1890S. BY THE CENTURY’S TURN, ONE HUNDRED U.S. COMPANIES PRODUCED STATIONARY OR PORTABLE GAS ENGINES FOR FARMS. ONLY FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, THE NUMBER OF GAS ENGINES ON FARMS HAD EXPLODED TO ONE MILLION.
HEAD ON OVER TO THE LAKE GARNETT PARK TOMORROW AND CHECK OUT THE THIRD ANNUAL ANDERSON COUNTY FLYWHEELERS GAS ENGINE & TRACTOR SHOW.
