Back to the old days at Rotorua Tractor and Machinery Club's working day

Tractors will be on display, like in previous years.

Tractors and working horses will be in action at the annual Rotorua Tractor and Machinery Club's working day.

Horses will be quietly working while the tractor pull shows tractors towing a sled for 100m putting out smoke and noise.

Some older collectors' item tractors will also be on display, including stationary engines which were once found in every cowshed and woolshed in the district.

Crafts and models will be on display and there will be a bouncy castle for the young ones.
Catering is shared by Mamaku School and the local volunteer fire brigade which will also arrange fire safety displays, weather permitting.

The day is a chance to see machinery of yesterday working alongside modern technology.
The day starts at 10am this Sunday at the corner of SH5 and Oturoa Rd, Mamaku. Entry is $10 and under 12s are free.
