Spotlight on Caterpillar Equipment
Caterpillar Equipment is the focus of the Annual Show this year, and they are bringing something special to display – some of the smallest industrial equipment in history!
Compact equipment, like mini excavators, represents how far we have come in terms of farming and mining innovation. These machines pack enormous power and efficiency into a small frame, proving that sometimes, the smallest tools are the mightiest. Whether you’re a machinery enthusiast or just curious about the engineering behind these machines, this feature is sure to fascinate you.
Food, Camping, and Fun
Exploring exhibits works up quite the appetite, and at Pioneer Acres, you’ll be taken care of. Start your mornings with hearty pancake breakfasts and stay late for steak suppers on Friday and Saturday nights. Combine that with the convenience of camping next door, and you’ve got the makings of a perfect summer getaway.
