The 20th Annual Education of Yesterday Farm Show will be held at 3685 Cass Irish Ridge Road in Dresden on Saturday, October 19th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no admission charge for either day, but a donation is recommended. All donations go back into the farm show.
The first Education of Yesterday Farm Show was started in 2004 by the late Kenny Moore who had a passion for farm equipment and trains and wanted to share his knowledge and collection of equipment with young people and families. His mission of preserving old machinery and educating younger generations about how farming was done in the past has continued for over a decade after his passing thanks to the dedication of the Moore family.
“It was my father’s dream and his visions and I’m wanting to continue his legacy that is what is driving me. I hope he is proud and I hope we are doing the right thing. I am hoping my nieces and nephews get involved and continue their grandfather’s dream. It’s for my dad, I’m doing it for him and for the people that come back every year, and the expressions on the young children,” stated Kendra Moore Hindel.Â
“Ever since I have started I’ve got several families that have brought their kids, and now their kids bring their grandkids, so they have made it a family tradition, so I am hoping that people will want to keep doing what they are doing,” stated Hindel. “I think there is something for everybody here.”
Attendees can expect a massive array of tractors and farm equipment on display, demonstrations such as the rotobailer demo and horses plowing, food and craft vendors, carriage rides, music, kids’ games, train rides for a dollar, and even a kids’ pedal tractor pull on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. operated by the Tri-Valley Young Farmers. There is always so much to see, do, and learn, plus lots of photo opportunities for the family making the Education of Yesterday Farm Show a fall family tradition for two decades.
“I think of my dad’s new word LERM which means Life, Education, Responsibilities, and Memories and I think that explains the weekend,” said Hindel.
