HALDIMAND–There are many traditions to look forward to on the long holiday weekend in May: opening the cottage, barbecues, fireworks, and, in Haldimand County, the Vintage Farm Equipment and Collectibles Tour.

This popular three-day event offers a unique opportunity to celebrate our rural heritage. The six tour locations feature a wide variety of antique tractors, machinery, and equipment paying homage to the agricultural practices of past generations.
