One of last year's tractors on display

Exhibitors wanted for Maple Crest 2nd Annual Antique Tractor show.

Maple Crest Senior Living Village seeks a few good antique tractors. The senior living village is preparing for its second annual antique tractor show on Saturday, Sept. 24. The show will take place during the Bluffton Fall Festival.

Maple Crest extends an invitation to persons who have antique tractors or engines to exhibit their antiques. Last year among tractors shown included a 1944 John Deer D, a 1939 Minneapolis Moline Model R Cab Tractor, an engine made in Bluffton and other antiques.
