Big Knob Livestock Club
For the Eighth year Big Knob Livestock Club will continue a thirty-two-year tradition of the show and sale. The independent and incorporated club is an organization promoting the raising of superior grain-fed animals as a learning experience for young people, for show, and sale at the Fair. This years show and sale will feature market steers, hogs, lambs, and goats (to be delivered to the meat processor of choice). The Annual Auction will begin on Thursday August 31, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. (buyers dinner starting at 4:30pm).
Lambs and goats will be shown and judged on Tuesday evening, followed by hogs and steers Wednesday evening (shows are open to the public).
In addition, there will be Community Service animals sold with the proceeds going to special recipients to be announced. Please support the leaders and young members of the Big Knob Livestock Club, Inc.

Big Knob Antique Tractor and Equipment Club
The Big Knob Antique Tractor and Equipment Association, BKATEA, will be making its 30th appearance this year at the Big Knob Grange Fair. Association members will be displaying restored antique tractors and equipment, plus model tractors, antique tools, literature, and other items related to mechanized farming from years ago.
The BKATEA will be doing a raffle again this year. Tickets can be purchased to win a New Holland pedal tractor, 1/16 scale Ford 8N restoration set, 1/16 Ford 8N Tractor & Wagon, or Ford Wall Thermometer. The drawing for one of them will be drawn on Saturday night at the conclusion of the Fair. The winning tickets for the other items will be drawn at the conclusion of the BKATEA show at the Grange on September 10th.
The Big Knob Antique Tractor and Equipment Association was established in 1996 and has more than 200 members mostly from the Beaver County area. The purpose of the BKATEA is “to promote the interrelated hobbies of antique farm and industrial equipment collection, repair, restoration, presentation, and demonstration.”
Besides participating in the annual Big Knob Grange Fair, the Association does an annual antique tractor show September 8-10, 2023. The show will include tractor pulling. If you want to become a member of the BKATEA, sign up at the display area at the Fair. Dues are $15 per
