This year will be the 14th Annual Three Forks Old Engine, Tractor Show & Fish Fry. It will be hosted at the Three Forks Historical Center on HWY 11 North, Beattyville, KY. The events kick off on Friday night, August 9th. Registration will begin at 6pm and participants are welcome to bring their tractors and camp out all night on the Museum property. Also new to the festival this year will be a visit by Daniel Boone at 7pm. This presentation of Daniel Boone is made possible by Kentucky Humanities. There will be storytelling, hotdogs and s'mores around the campfire that night along with pickin' and grinn'. Everyone is welcome to bring their instruments and participate.

All day Saturday, August 10th, 2019 there will be a display of old tractors and engines. Registration starts at 10am.
The first 25 engines to register will receive a dash plaque. The show will go on throughout the day with participants parading their antique tractors down Main Street at 3 p.m. Kids can enjoy a paint rock station under the picnic shelter and once their masterpieces are complete, they can place their rocks in the museum flowerbeds or take them home.

The fish fry will follow at 4pm. The meal will consists of fried fish, hushpuppies, cole slaw, baked beans, desert and drink. The cost will be $8.00. Children 6 and under eat free. Browse though artisans and crafters as they work their trade onsite! Come out and support the museum.

The Museum would like to add demonstrations of some of the skills that were important to our forefathers and reflect life on the early homesteads such as splitting wooden shingles or flint knapping. If you would like to set up and demonstrate some of the early arts and crafts at this show, give us a call at (606) 464-2888.
