PILOT MOUNTAIN — An assortment of 16 tractors, ranging from classic to current, came out to the Rock House Ruritan Building Saturday for the 14th annual Antique Tractor, Auto, Engines and Farm Equipment Show. There they were joined by an assortment of classic vehicles, tools and equipment from Surry and Stokes counties’ rural past.

“I thought it went real well,” noted co-organizer Don Bennett. “Everybody was pleased. It was a good show.”

A highlight of the day was the annual cow bingo game, with Pilot Mountain resident Delano Carson claiming the top prize of $1,000.
