You are invited to exhibit at the Town of Newfane Historical Society’s annual Apple Blossom Festival, Sunday May 18, 2008.

MODELERS – 120 feet of new tables for model engine display complete with piped air. The building is a recently constructed pole barn with concrete floor, lighting, and electricity available.

TRACTORS – Old farm tractors are a valuable addition to our displays. Bring your tractor, whether restored or not. We encourage the exhibition of pre 1955 equipment. If it can be belted to a load all the better. Parking space for your hauling trailer will be provided.

ANTIQUE VEHICLES – Antique car and truck owners are invited to display their vehicles in a specially provided area.
