It’s all part of the fun at Heritage Acres 35th show.
Heritage Acres got its start when a group of volunteers set out to protect old farm and ranch equipment.
A pioneer museum was put together on the 185-acre site to preserve, display and demonstrate the pioneer lifestyle of the early farmers and ranchers in Alberta.
The Oldman River Antique Equipment and Threshing Club continues to gather and collect equipment and buildings.
The buildings include a general store, Jumbo Valley Knox Presbyterian Church, a long house, Ashvale school, a trapper’s cabin, an old dairy barn and more.
