Come watch the parade of antique tractors, farm equipment and garden tractors every day of the fair at 5:00pm. Parade will be around the entire fairgrounds.

Take a step back in time and visit these old tractors and a large assortment of other farm machinery. Antique cars and trucks are also on display. The Antique Farm Equipment Show has been growing each year at the Burlington County Farm Fair. Formerly coordinated by the late Mr. Coles Roberts of Southampton, Farm Fair Trustee.

Mr. Larry Cauffman, Former Trustee and now Honorary Trustee, and family of Masonville, NJ, coordinates the old farm gasoline engine section of the show. The putt-putt-sputter-putt of his machines serves as a calling for old engine buffs, and attracts thousands of people to the exhibit. Field corn will be shelled throughout the Fair with a two-hole corn sheller, a slow process compared with our modern combines. Spectators may receive a souvenir corncob!
