Albert City, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — The 54th annual Albert City Threshermen and Collector’s Show is this weekend. Although you’ll see a variety of steam engines and tractors, Brady Bonin says a one-of-a kind engine is the main attraction this year.

Tyler Wiseman says many visitors prefer life BEFORE steam power was invented.

There are classic cars, a permanent military vehicle display, many crafters, and a petting zoo. There’s ample shade, cold drinks, and Chris Ehler says a full crew keeps busy just making ice cream.

Gates at the Albert City Threshermen and Collector’s show open at 7am daily with activities running into the evening.
