=0D=0A=Each year the show attracts vintage tractors from not only the Cowichan Region but also from other Vancouver Island Vintage Machinery Clubs. “Everyone with old tractors is invited to the museum. This year we’re expecting tractors from Nanaimo, Courtenay and Campbell River, and the event continues to grow every year” says Geoff Hopps, event organizer.
=0D=0A=Visitors from all over Vancouver Island will enjoy the activities planned for this year’s event. “We always like to add to the visitor experience and this year Home Depot in Duncan has once again made our Fathers Day even more special with their generous participation in the Fathers Day Gift Building Event,” says Chris Gale, Manager of the BC Forest Discovery Centre. “Kids will be able to build a HOME DEPOT sponsored ‘Build Dad a Gift’ project. There a few different kids projects to choose from, but there is only one project per family to be built while supplies last. It’s a fun team-building project for the whole family”
=0D=0A=“At the BC Forest Discovery Centre, it’s our local businesses, residents and members who play the biggest role in supporting the museum through their repeat visits and attending our special events. It’s why our memberships are such a great value whether it's for a family or our corporate memberships.” Visitors to this year's festivities will enjoy the collection of vintage tractors, the tractor parades, slow races, the concession, Home Depot’s Build Dad a Gift, and our newest exhibit, Forests Forever. It’s going to be a great event with lots to see, do, and happening to celebrate Fathers Day with your Dad and the whole family”
