The two day festival was held over Saturday and Sunday with people travelling from across NSW and interstate for the event.
The event, which is run by Hunter Valley Vintage Farm Machinery Club, attracted good numbers according to Cr Peter Garnham.
“There’s been a healthy crowd I would say with a constant flow of people over the two days,” he said.
“The commitment of people who’ve travelled has been great.
“We’ve had people from Sydney and further, as well as interstate.”
A display of vintage farm and machinery equipment, a tractor exhibit, steam engines and steam rollers were well received by visitors.
Vintage cars, trucks and bikes were also on show as well as a look at early farm machinery.
