Participate as an Exhibitor
The main exhibitor areas at the Old Threshers Reunion are the traction steam engine, gas engine, tractor, horse, and car & truck areas. All of these areas have different criteria for new exhibitors to follow if they wish to display or demonstrate at the annual event.
Traction Steam Engines
Both full-sized and model traction steam engines are exhibited at the Reunion. All traction steam engines, including model engines, will be inspected by our safety committee and must pass all inspection requirements to be exhibited at the Old Threshers Reunion.

Gas Engines
The majority of the gas engines displayed at the Reunion are antique exposed flywheel gas engines. The engines must be in restored and operable condition, and exhibitors are encouraged to operate the engine during the day. Most gas engine exhibitors simply bring their engines to the Old Threshers Reunion and register at Gas Engine Headquarters.
