The Antique Tractor Steam and Gas Engine Show is one of the largest in the Shenandoah Valley, and features a large number of demonstrations of farm work from the county's early days using steam equipment for wheat thrashing, log sawing, straw baling, and making shingles and sorghum molasses.

Food is Bountiful! Choose from dozens of home-made selections. Other favorite events include mule train rides, face painting, and a variety of live entertainment featuring bands, cloggers, and shows.

Valuable raffle prizes are donated by a number of local history organizations, and there are a large selection of books for sale. A consignment building is full of crafts and foods made by the people of Page County.
