ROCKY FORK LAKE – A rainy Friday and an unseasonably chilly Saturday gave way to gorgeous weather on Sunday as the 31st annual Highland County Antique Machinery Show wrapped up on Sunday afternoon.

The popular event was held at Amvets Recreation Park off of North Shore Drive in the Rocky Fork Lake region as nearly 100 vintage tractors were on display.

“We had rain, we had cold weather, but overall we had a nice show,” said Ann Everetts, treasurer of the Highland County Antique Machinery Club.

In addition to the tractors, the machinery show featured a working blacksmith, steam engines, tractor parades, a mini flea market, kiddie tractor pulls, garden tractor pulls, kiddie train rides, raffles, music and more.

The Eric Huff band entertained the crowd on Saturday night, and the Neff Family Singers performed on Sunday afternoon.

“Eric Huff was marvelous,” said Jane Malott, secretary of the machinery club. “And the Neff group from around the Bainbridge area was very good.”
