MENTONE – The Echoes of the Past will host its first annual Tractor, Engine, Garden Tractor Show and Swap during the Mentone Egg Festival June 4-5 at the Mentone Airport.
The airport is south of Mentone off of Ind. 19 on CR 600S. Hours for the show are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days and there is no charge for admission.
Antique and vintage tractors from several decades will be featured. Case, Farmall, John Deere and more will be presented for the public to view and enjoy. The public will be asked to vote for best in show.
