Mother Nature will lend a cooperative hand for today’s West Dallas Antique Tractor, Car, Gas Engine and Craft Show in Orrville.

The forecast, organizer Karen Grimes said, calls for sunshine and temperatures in the 70s, which should offer ideal conditions.

“The weather is going to be beautiful,” she said.

Friday afternoon, Grimes said some of the 50 vendors she expects had already arrived on site setting up tents and displays. Grimes said the vendors who are attending can help shoppers get a head start on the holidays.

“It’s a great time and place to do your Christmas shopping,” she said.

Vendors will sell belts, horse tac, iron works, photography, homemade soap, jellies, quilts, placemats, purses, children’s clothing, homemade pens, bird houses, flowers, knifes, candles, garden crafts, wooden toys, vine works, baskets, and other items.

The festival, which opens from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., is sponsored by the Orrville Volunteer Fire Department.

Music will be provided by Winky Hicks and The Frontier Blue Grass band at 11:15 a.m. Hurricane Creek at 2:30 p.m. Destiny Brown, a band from Orrville, will take the stage at 10 a.m. followed by Dustin Herring, a Hartford native at 10:30 a.m.

A pedal tractor race will take place at 11 a.m., followed by a tractor parade at noon. A hammer toss will take place at 12:30 p.m.

Parking will be available behind the show in the old airport runway, and beside Orrville City Hall.

Southern fried catfish, turkey and dressing, barbecue, funnel cakes, Polish sausage, boiled shrimp, Brunswick stew, hamburgers and hotdogs will be available as well.
