The Klatt family are sharing their love of restored tractors and threshing mills.
Everyone is invited over the Civic holiday long weekend to view more than 30 tractors and various farming equipment at 623 Hopefield Rd., between Barry’s Bay and Combermere.
Sue Klatt told MyBarrysBayNow that the annual event is a popular one, with about 400 people showing up last year to have a look at dozens of restored tractors.
Sue’s husband Bart, with help from members of the family, has restored more than 60 tractors over the years, with the majority of the restorations International brand tractors.
The family, have also retrofit garden tractors and they pull mini wagons and chariots for kids’ rides at the event.
Threshing mills demonstrations will also be held. The younger members of the family run a lemonade stand, with proceeds going to local worthy causes.
Guests can view displays on Aug. 1-2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on the holiday Monday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Admission is free and donations are accepted to offset costs.
