Thousands turn out for Hesston steam show

Posted:

Thousands came out for the annual Hesston Steam & Power Show in LaPorte County.

Folks enjoyed train rides, tractor demos, and of course fair food!

The Hesston Museum's 67 ton logging locomotive was the main feature, but there were many other things for folks to learn about, like the saw mill.

"It's really an education for the kids. They really don't understand where this lumber comes from. They go to a home improvement store and say, 'where's this 2x4 come from?' We can show them where it comes from," says Ted Rita with the Hesston Steam Museum.

Monday was the last day of a four-day show, organizers expected about 9,000 people.

The museum is open on Sundays through the fall.
