Steam & Gas Engine Show highlights rural history By Ron Giofu

The 35th annual Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Show allowed people to experience agricultural history over the weekend. The show, presented by the Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Museum, was held at Co-An Park in McGregor with the three-day event being filled with demonstrations, tractor pulls, seminars, children’s activities, food and a look back at agricultural and rural history. It also allowed people to see steam engines from years gone by. Massey-Harris was this year’s featured tractor and machinery. Gary Struhar, president of the Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Museum, noted they need volunteers to help put the show on annually. “We have to have the volunteers,” he said. “Without them, none of this would happen.” Struhar added the need for volunteers is still there to help run the show year after year. There were new features at this year’s show, Struhar added, including a performance by the Lazee G Ranch and the addition of guest speakers. Vendors came from as far as the Sarnia area with people attending from as far
