Show Rules
To ensure the safety of all attendees, the Root River Antique Historical Power Association has established a set of rules for the show. These rules cover a range of topics, including the use of golf carts and UTVs, registration requirements, and guidelines for exhibits and events. We also ask that all vendors adhere to our set-up and take-down times and that all exhibits and events are subject to change. With these rules in place, we can continue to celebrate the unique history of antique farming and agriculture equipment while keeping our attendees safe and informed.
While reservations are not necessary, only primitive camping is allowed. Showgrounds are off-limits for camping.
