Visitors from Hoosick, as well as Arlington, Cambridge, Berlin and Massachusetts came to look and learn. JC Tractors was the event’s sponsor.

“I am very encouraged that some of this year’s attendees are not only looking forward to attending again next year, but are also interested in helping me run the event,” said organizer Kevin O’Malley.
