Trucks and tractors will be on display in Ladner Saturday. The first annual Kirkland House Vintage Truck & Antique Tractor Show takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We wanted to do something that was representative of South Delta and the history of South Delta,” said James Price. “Trucks and tractors isn’t a common thing but they were common to the pioneers and what happened here on the delta in the early days.” Price is part of the Kirkland House Society and is helping organize the
event. “We thought we’d do something that would showcase our local history and bring out some of the local equipment. It’s an opportunity to showcase the work that’s been done onsite with Kirkland House and the Harris Barn, and get people out onto the grounds.” He estimates there will be room for 70 trucks and around 30 or 40 tractors. He notes there will be a steam tractor on display as well. Price’s truck, a 1953 International one-ton pickup, will be at the show. It was part of a sevenyear restoration by a previous owner. “He did all the work and I get the pleasure of driv-
ing it.” Ladner’s Don Broeder plans on bringing his 1932 Ford pickup to the event. He’s had the vehicle for about two years and has done some work on it, including putting in hydraulic brakes, signal lights and totally rewiring the entire truck. “It cruises quite nicely at 50 miles an hour,” he says. “Nice and steady down the road.” The event will also include live bluegrass music, a cake and cupcake walk for kids, and the chance for youngsters to build wooden tractors and trucks. Delta Life Skills will be on site preparing food as well.
