Buckley Old Engine Show

Our show depends on exhibitors, they make-up the greater portion of our show. We have yet to not find room for a worthy exhibit. The exhibit does not have to be fully restored and looking 'show-room' new, but must be a worthy exhibit. No advance notice or registration is required.

Garden Tractors must have mower decks removed. The only exceptions being if it is an integral part of the unit. Tractors with mounted or attached equipment, such as front-end loader or sickle bars, may be required to have the teeth or forks guarded to prevent spearing or snagging. 

Exhibitors are not charged for camping or gate fee. All worthy exhibits are allowed two passes for the show. Additional adults may be charged admission. Exhibitors are allowed admission to the show grounds any time after eight a.m. on Tuesday the week of the show. The club has a holding area for exhibitors and vendors, and an area for campers that will be open Sunday prior to the show. The camping area across the road from the show grounds is also open the Sunday before the show. All exhibitors must adhere to the all camping rules
