For the past 16 years, the Moore family has put together a farm show that is meant to educate the next generation about the rural life of yesteryear.
The show was started by Kenny Moore, an avid farm tractor and machinery collector and businessman who had a passion for teaching children about farming and operation farm equipment. Since Kenny’s passing in 2013, his daughter Kendra Moore Hindel, the Moore family, volunteers and a long list of community supporters have helped to continue the show each year.
There are normally tons of tractors and equipment on display and even some in operation through demonstrations. Food vendors, activities, $1.00 train rides can be expected. The Captain Bryant Grist Mill will be open to ten people at a time to walkthrough. The second floor has a large farm toy display!
For the first time ever, the Gravley Tractor Club is expected to attend which will add a new roster of tractors to those normally displayed in the field.
This year’s show will be held on Saturday, October 17 from 10-5 and Sunday, October 18 from 11-4 at Country Crossroads located at the intersections of State Route 60 and 16 (3685 Cass Irish Ridge Road, Dresden, Ohio).
Social distancing and masks are requested. There will be hand sanitizing stations throughout the grounds.
The event is free but parking is available by donation.
The two-day show never disappoints and is a perfect open-air family event with a beautiful fall backdrop.
