Antique Tractor and Small Engine Show
The Antique Tractor and Small Engine show encourages entry by any and all older unit owners to come and display their pride and joy in a park setting.  This show is a general gathering of old and new friends, and visitors to the Nekoosa GIANT Pumpkin Fest that have an interest in this older equipment.  We have had some very unique equipment displayed with us in recent years.
