Winamac's ‘Power From the Past’ show returns for 2025

Northern Indiana Power From the Past, Inc. is excited to announce the 48th annual antique tractor show, scheduled for July 17-20.

A cherished tradition since 1976, this event draws thousands to Pulaski County each summer, offering a nostalgic celebration of antique tractors, steam engines, working saw mill and historical displays.

The festivities kick off with a preview night on July 16, featuring a pulled pork dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., provided by The Corner Deli and served by local Scout Troop 229. Admission for the preview night is $1 per person over 12 years.

Starting each day from July 17-20, the show opens with a Flag Raising, Prayer, and the national anthem at 9:00 a.m. Visitors can explore a bustling flea market with over 150 vendors offering an array of collectibles. Working displays of wheat threshing, steam engines, and more begin at 9 a.m. daily. Entrance fees are $5 per person or $15 for the entire event.

This year’s featured tractor is the Ford, and attendees can enjoy the sight and sounds of steam engines, including the thrilling spark shows at night. The entertainment lineup includes the Tri Kickers with line dancing on Thursday, Branson Eber's live music on Friday, Horsetank's nostalgic tunes on Saturday morning, and the Blue Hollar Band’s bluegrass performance on Saturday night. The heavyweight horse pull event starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Families can enjoy daily children's games and a kiddie tractor pull on Saturday, while Sunday hosts the Head Hunters Car Club Show from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A Quilt Show and a working village featuring a blacksmith, printmaker, and leather crafting offer additional attractions.
