Northern Indiana Power from the Past
30th Annual
Antique Power Show

Antique Tractor Row is a favorite spot for visitors, featuring the bright reds,
greens, oranges, blues and other colors of the various machinery models.

The bleachers were packed for the annual Horse Pull, sponsored by the Northern Indiana Horse & Mule Pullers Association.

Record Breaking

Pulaski County’s largest tourist event, the annual Antique Power Show, drew record crowds from near and far last weekend to the county fairgrounds, where the show is located in the horseshoe bend of the Tippecanoe River at the back of the Winamac Town Park.

The four-day event began with (much needed) light rain, but the final three days were gloriously sunny. “It was the most perfect weather we’ve ever had,” reports Chris Smith, a show director.

Sponsored by the Northern Indiana Power from the Past, the purpose of the show is to preserve, rejuvenate and display antique farm machinery and any other form of machinery utilized in the growth of the U.S.A. Further, it is the intention of NIPFTP to “foster and perpetuate in the minds of all Americans respect, interest and recognition of the vital role that different forms of machinery, no matter what their power source, have played in the development of our society as a whole.”

For 30 years now, the Antique Power Show has attracted visitors from across northern Indiana and beyond - inviting them to take a step back in time and give free reign to their memories.

International Harvester tractors and equipemt were the featured machinery at the 2007 Power Show. Here Scott and Libby Fritz admire an early IH tractor. Winamac is the birthplace of the IH Collector's Club.

Record crowds attended the 2007 Antique Power Show to enjoy the oldtime machinery, demonstrations, fun food, entertainment, flea markets and other attractions.
