Antique Tractor buffs will have a heyday at this year’s 155th Annual Whiteside County Fair, which runs August 18-22, 2026.
Each participant will receive a 155th Whiteside County Fair plaque to display on their antique tractor. Exhibitors will fire up their engines for the parade, starting about one hour before the start of that evening’s Truck and Tractor Pulls at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 2. Those displaying their Antique Farm Tractor at the Fair will be required to purchase a Season Membership Pass, which will automatically enter them into the exhibition. Due to space constraints, the display will be limited to “restored or good original” tractors.
The Fair also welcomes for display hit-and-miss engines that are in working order. No garden tractors or implements are allowed, unless the implements are mounted to the tractor.
Pre-registration is recommended and can be done by contacting Ron Shank at 815-213-4690.
