Round Hill Harvest
Show and Shine
Visitors will be able to experience eras gone by when they attend the 5th annual
Round Hill Harvest Show and Shine Sunday, September 3 The day will start off at Round Hill Agricultural Grounds with a pancake breakfast and registration from 9 to 11 am. The Show and Shine gets underway at 11 am. All vehicles will be pre- 1990. Collectors and car enthusiasts alike will enjoy the wide variety of classic cars, pick-up trucks, rat rods and muscle cars. As always, the very popular threshing demonstration will take place from 1 to 3 pm. This event uses local equipment as well as artifacts now owned and operated by the Round Hill Agricultural Society. The demonstration serves as an enlightening reminder of the immense changes that have taken place in farming since ambitious settlers started making a living off the land in this area. Fewer, but much larger, farms, genetically modified seed, zero tillage, chemical crop desiccation, specialization and incredible increases in equipment, both in costs and technology, depict the massive differences in today’s business of farming. A concession will be available during the day as well as a homemade pie booth, for a true taste of the country!
