It seems the Upper Canada Two-Cylinder Club’s show is on the move.
As the show marks its 20th anniversary this July, it also marks a new home for the venue.
This year, the three-day event runs from July 27 to 29 at the Grand Valley Fairgrounds.
Club member Kyle Bosomworth, who was at the recent Alma Toy Show promoting the event, noted the decision to move was based on a survey of club members.
The show will feature all two-cylinder John Deere model 20 series and new generation models as well. Special guests include Case tractors and equipment.
Friday night events include the all-colour antique stock tractor pull and a ladies fashion show. Saturday’s lineup includes John Deere and guest tractor pulls, a beef dinner and a dance with the Bill Beattie Band. Sunday includes a church service and lawn mower pulls.
Bosomworth added this year there are also draws for two specialty quilts, two John Deere pedal tractors, a John Deere park bench, a back-lit John Deere picture and two John Deere 320 toy show tractors.

175 years of John Deere
This year also marks the 175th anniversary of John Deere and a Canadian celebration is being held in Grimsby on June 2 and 3.
The event, being held at the headquarters of John Deere ULC, celebrates 175 years of John Deere history and equipment.
Included will be outdoor and indoor displays of related history and equipment – from horse-drawn to modern industrial, lawn, garden, snowmobiles, consumer products, toys and memorabilia.
The show is being hosted by the Deere through the Years committee which includes members of the Upper Canada Two Cylinder Club – the first Ontario two-cylinder club.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to food banks.
