On the 10th of August, Kunkle Farms situated on the outskirts of Alvordton extended an invitation to local tractor enthusiasts and farmers to partake in a demonstration of vintage agricultural equipment and machinery.
This gathering, known as Alvordton’s traditional “Plow Days,” provided a platform for owners of tractors aged 40 years and older to exhibit models from the 1960s or earlier. Participants were encouraged to present their implements and engage in field demonstrations showcasing antiquated agricultural technology.
This event is a great opportunity for people to come together and enjoy the traditional activity of plowing that they may not have the chance to do anymore.
Besides the plowing, there was also a raffle with prizes, Plow Days t-shirts on sale, and the popular chicken dinner from the fire department.
This event began about 12-13 years ago as a means to attract people to Alvordton and help fund their volunteer fire department.
