The Huron Area Antique Power Association is holding the 21st annual show this weekend on the State Fairgrounds. The event features restored farm tractors, equipment, classic cars, and stationary engines dating back one hundred years or more. This year the show is featuring Monitor gas engines, which committee member Jack Winter says were used for pumping water before rural electric came in.
Monitor still manufactures pumps to this day. The show also will feature Cockshutt tractors. Committee member Roger Kropuenske says the company did a little of everything in it’s history.
The Antique Power Show runs tomorrow and Sunday on the state fairgrounds, and admission is free.
