The culture in three parts: the steam show, the pull, and the farm show — all at boundary

ITEM 10 · NO PART SEATED ON THIS GROUND; THE FAIR'S OWN RECORD GOVERNS THE PULL

The checklist closes the leg with its culture in three parts — the antique steam and gas association, the tractor pull, the farm show — and for Walkerton each part prints at the boundary, because none of the three is seated on this ground. The steam and gas show: the region's antique-engine culture — the associations, the show grounds, the restored traction engines of the threshing article — seats in the neighboring counties and the sister cities; no steam-and-gas association, show ground, or annual engine show is documented for Walkerton in any record reached, and the town's steam memory rides the threshing practice's own telling rather than a festival. The pull: tractor pulling in this county lives at the county fair, whose grounds and record are the South Bend build's (this history prints Walkerton's relation to that fair — the visitor and exhibitor relation — at its size); no pull, sled, or pulling association is seated in Walkerton in the record reached. The farm show: no farm show, equipment expo, or ag day of record was founded in this town — the school farm's open-house tradition and the FFA's course stand in Schools and Farms & Agriculture at their strengths and are not inflated into a show here. The three parts close together as this section's cultural finding: the tractor's festival life, like its manufacture, happens elsewhere — and the township's own tractor culture is the working one the farms file already tells, of rings, benches, and auctions.

Principal sources: the regional steam-and-gas record at boundary size; this history (the county-fair relation); Schools and Farms & Agriculture (the school farm; the auction).
