According to a post on its website and Facebook page, The Olde Time Farm Show has been cancelled for 2015 due to excessive rain.  The ground at the park is saturated and cannot support tractors.

June 2015 has been the wettest June on record in the history of the State of Illinois.

Thee Olde Time Farm Show at Perry Farm in Bourbonnais

Perry Farm in Bourbonnais hosted the 2011 Thee Olde Time Farm Show.

The Show featured antique tractors, especially David Bradley equipment.  David Bradley owned David Bradley Manufacturing Company, which moved in 1895 to what was then "North Kankakee" and what is now known as Bradley, Illinois.   In 1910 the Bradley family sold to Sears, which operated the factory in Bradley until 1962.
