By Randy Carter
CAYUGA—Thousands turned out over the weekend of August 9-11, 2024 to the Wheatley Farm on Haldimand Road 17 just outside Cayuga for the 39th annual Antique Farm Show and Tractor Pull.
It is hosted by the Grand River Antique Society(GRAS), a non-profit organization that brings together people with a shared interest in antique farming equipment.
GRAS Second Vice-President Angelika Morwald said the show provides an opportunity for farm equipment owners to display and boast about all the hard work and care that goes into keeping equipment up to show quality.
This was the Wheatley Farm’s second year hosting; the previous 37 years were held at Bruce’s Landing RV Resort, just down the road.
“It took numerous volunteers to make this a success,” said Morwald. “Also, we were lucky enough to have 22 vendors and five food trucks to keep all attendees fed and watered.”
