With the passage of time, many of our younger generation have never seen or experienced farm life in its heyday. The Power of the Past Antique Engine and Tractor Association’s mission is to preserve the past, bring back the memories of days gone by, and create a learning experience for younger generations through demonstrations of equipment.

Friday Night Cruise-In (5 p.m. – 9 p.m. 9/15/23)

Before our annual show actually begins, cars of all year’s make and models are invited to join us in Forest Park on Friday evening. This is one small way for us to allow friends who have vehicles newer than 1972 to join in with some of our weekend’s activities. It’s a great time to enjoy our beautiful park, listen to great music, and meet new friends.

Friday night is also the first opportunity to register for the car show if you missed the pre-registration deadline of August 18th. Come to the large shelter house from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. to register. Pre-registered participants may also pick up their information packets during this time period.

Saturday night “Back to the 60’s” Cruise Night (6 p.m. – 9 p.m. 9/16/23)

For many people, this is one of their favorite parts of our car show. Our great city allows us to close Main Street from Tecumseh Street to 7th Street to permit only registered car show participants on Main Street to cruise. Food vendors are set up on the courthouse lawn, oldies music is playing, and many stores are open for the evening. The atmosphere will make you feel like you’re on the scene of American Graffiti!

To participate in the Saturday night cruise, you must register at the visitor center (2011 E K68 Hwy or I-35 & K68 Hwy Exit 187) by 3 p.m. Saturday, September 16th. Registration will be open at 6 a.m. and close at 3 p.m.
Commercial Vendors : Paul Snethen, 785-550-8935, paulsnethen7@gmail.com
