National Farm Toy Show

November 5, 6 & 7, 2010 marks this year's show dates.

The farm toy hobby got a jump start in 1978 when Claire and Cathy Scheibe, publishers of the popular Toy Farmer magazine published in LaMoure, N.D., held their first National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville, Iowa.

The show, lovingly labeled as "The Grandaddy of 'Em All," attracted 15,000 people this year and continues to be held there each year.

For more information on this show, go to: National Toy Farm Show for Debbie Behne's article.

Toy Farmer's booth is located in the lunchroom at the Beckman High School.
