*************************
The Simcoe County Museum and the Historical Construction Equipment Association (H.C.E.A) of Canada present Last Blast on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

One of the Museum’s most popular events, Last Blast brings to life vintage construction equipment, tractors, classic trucks, steam-powered rollers, shovels, road-building equipment, and much more with demonstrations for visitors of all ages.

In addition to machinery displays and demonstrations, visitors can stroll the Museum grounds, take in the permanent displays, and visit the indoor vendor area along with the Lego® display, Mecanno® display and hands-on Mecanno® area.

Stay for the day and purchase lunch at the concession stand, or pack your own lunch to enjoy at one of our covered picnic areas. If you missed Wheels and Tracks in the spring, Last Blast will be your last chance to catch the area’s antique machines in action before the snow flies.

The Simcoe County Museum is located at 1151 Highway 26, just minutes north of Barrie. For more information, visit the Museum’s website at museum.simcoe.ca or call 705-728-3721.
