If, however, you are interested in a private tour, just leave a message on this website and we'll do our best to arrange a time for you to come out.
Tentative exhibition dates in 2025 are the Spring Swap Meet on May 24 & 25, the Annual Exposition on July 19 & 20, and the Fall Harvest on September 6 & 7. Plus the Lesco Truck Show in September and hopefully the Embers & Ice Pitmaster Challenge in May. Watch this space!
