PORTERSVILLE -- Fans of vintage farm equipment gathered at the Portersville Steam Show grounds on a hot Saturday morning to check out restored engines, tractors, cars and other equipment at the Spring Gas-Up event.

Families met farm animals and rode a miniature train around a track at the grounds. Three-year-old Leo White, visiting with his grandmother, Karen Flanagan from Butler, was thrilled to see a horse up close.

“It’s his first time being here, and he loves tractors,” Flanagan said. “This is exciting, and he’s never touched a horse before. He rode the train and saw the sawmill. That was probably one of the most fascinating things, watching the sawdust kick out.”
