Nittany Antique Machinery 2011 Spring Show

June 3-5, 2011
Dawn to Dusk
Location: Penns Cave grounds
What you need to know before you go: Parking is well organized and shuttles take you from the parking area to the events. The flea market here is phenomenal! Don't miss the antique tractor pull. Do a little square dancing. You'll get to see some old-fashioned cider pressing and take some home with you. If Sunday is the only day you can make it, come early for the church service and stay the day.

Penns Cave - Centre Hall - 5 Miles East on Rt. 192
Featuring Ford Tractors and Equipment

Nittany Antique Machinery Association was formed in 1975 when Dick Markle and Russell Mark, both avid antique equipment collectors and show attendees, decided that Central Pennsylvania had enough interest and equipment to organize a club and hold a show of its own. The first show was held at Penns Cave farm in September 1975. The attendance and enthusiasm was beyond expectations. Several operating steam traction engines, numerous farm tractors and implements were displayed. There were demonstrations of threshing grain, baling straw, broom-making, and ice cream making.

Today, the shows are held twice a year and attract antique machinery enthusiasts from all over the country. Events include a consignment sale of antique farm machinery, steam and gas tractors, steam and gas engines and associated parts and has become a major event for anyone restoring machinery.

In addition, an antique tractor pull (including 1975 models and older), a garden tractor pull, square dancing, a craft and flea market, and entertainment round out the weekend. Those wishing to set up camp are welcome as camping and food are available on the grounds (no hookups). This is an EXCELLENT way to spend a weekend, a day, or simply an afternoon. For locals who've never been here before, come on out! Prepare for the weather and enjoy this gem of show coveniently located right here in your area.
