Now that COVID-19 restrictions are essentially gone, we are trying our best to get back to our normal event schedule.
The dates for some events have already past. For other events, we have not had time to properly plan them, so we have had to cancel them. Some of those events may be re-scheduled later or they might wait until 2022.
Most importantly, our annual show is a go!
For some of the events later in the summer, we still are not sure if we will have the resources to host them. They are marked as "On Hold", but we hope that they will go ahead.
The first tractor pull of the year is a great time to brush off the dust and get your tractor out of winter storage. Use this day as a opportunity to tune up your equipment and hone your skills.
An educational event specifically aimed at elementary school children on field trips with their classes and teachers. Pre-registration is required.
A special welcome to all our neighbours. Surprise events happening all day.
We have stationary and portable steam engines and a 65 HP Case steam tractor, too. If you love steam (and who doesn't?), you'll love this weekend. There will be plenty of opportunity to get up close and personal. And dirty.
From 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm - free event to celebrate the Grain Academy re-opening. The Grain Academy, our newest exhibit, did not get a proper grand opening last year due to COVID-19. We are planning this event in conjunction with Historic Calgary Week.
This is our main event of the year. Virtually every piece of equipment that we have will be running. Many outside exhibitors also bring displays, equipment, crafts, and much more. In 2021 we are featuring JI Case Tractors and Equipment. Admission rates are slightly higher.
Live theatre is something we have never tried before. We are working with a troupe that does live, interactive theatre based on the artifacts and exhibits around us. There could be some family-friendly shows in the daytime and maybe something more mind-challenging for adults in the evening. This sounds very exciting - we can hardly wait to be able to provide more details!
Farm life and industry as it was in early 1900’s would not have been possible without engines to provide mechanical power. Stationary engines pumped water, lifted grain in elevators, operated blacksmith and woodworking shops, produced electricity and performed a host of other tasks.
Could this possibly be a threshing bee? We hope so!
We do have some pretty scary looking equipment...
Who knows what Christmas 2021 will bring?
Closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
