Major rebuilding ahead at Frontier Village in Adrian

Several tractors and other machinery
were damaged at Frontier Village in
Adrian last week

While the rest of us were busy checking sump pumps last week, an unintended consequence of the heavy rains caused literally thousands of dollars of damage at Frontier Village in Adrian, MO. 

As seen by the photos, most of the carnage was contained to the low lying areas which mainly affected the miniature railroad- ripping up the track and damaging equipment stored in a building as well.

Members of the Western Missouri Antique Tractor and Machinery Association have kicked repair efforts into high gear and plan to have things restored and 'back to normal' as soon as possible.

There will be a work day this Sunday, August 6th starting around 9 am. Anyone that can help clean up brush, debris, trash, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
