Heritage Days event draws crowd of over 1,500

The 1st Ontario Cylinder Club Heritage days were well attended with over 175 tractors and 60 plus camper units August 12 & 13th. Fun was had by all, young and old After an early morning rain on Saturday, the rest of weekend was nice. Attendees witnessed threshing machines, corn shelling, plowing and a friendly tractor pull amongst other activities.

Approximately 150 people attended a sit-down supper followed by an auction sale. The following day’s event started with a church service officiated by Rev. Sarah with members of the Richwood and St. Paul's United Church of Paris joining the club’s members. The kids’ area was a big hit, and the Lions food booth and vendor area was buzzing all day long. Organizers would like to send a big thank-you to the more than 1,500 who came out to check out the equipment!
