LARNED—The grounds of the Santa Fe Trail Center Museum will soon be filled with the rumbling of the sounds of antique and vintage farm equipment.
Prepare for a carnival-like atmosphere, and join the crowd as everyone enjoys the weekend of farming, food and fun on October 14 and 15 for the 23rd Annual Tired Iron Show.
This year’s event will focus on the centennial anniversary of Farmall tractors.
Members of the Kansas Chapter #3 International Harvester Collectors Club will be present with a booth and some of their vintage equipment to highlight the event.
Upon arrival, visitors will enter through the Peddlers Market gateway to see the booths of various arts, crafts and collectibles. There will be several food concession trucks as well.
One of the many returning activities at this year’s event includes the ever-popular Anvil Shoot.
The Kansas Anvil Shooters will shoot the anvil three times each day.
On both Saturday and Sunday, there will be scheduled demonstrations of wheat threshing, corn shelling, and blacksmithing.
There will also be a working miniature farm equipment display.
The tractor pull will begin Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
A full schedule can be found on Facebook.
Those interested in either a booth for the Peddlers Market or for exhibiting an antique tractor, gas engine, antique or classic vehicle may call (620) 285-2054 for more information.
The Santa Fe Trail Center is located 2 miles west of Larned on K-156.
To reduce traffic, the main entrance is reserved for general admission, and all oversized vehicles are asked to use the new west entrance.
