The Barn Swallow at Circle K Farms is tucked away on a beautiful 29-acre lot in Ballard, Monroe County, and will be the site of the Field of Dreams Classic Car and Antique Tractor Show on Saturday, July 20, to support the Ballard Volunteer Fire and Rescue in working with Treasures for Children to supply Christmas gifts to over 125 children. Each year the owners of Barn Swallow choose a non-profit to support, last year being Reigning Warriors.
In 2018, Barn Swallow owners Ange and Brian Kaluk opened the venue for those near and far to enjoy, and they continue to dedicate their time and effort on upgrades and improvements to the facility. The property has a two-story barn to host weddings, parties, family reunions, bridal showers, baby showers and much more either indoors or outdoors.
Ange stated that the reason they decided to host this event is she wanted to provide a way to support a non-profit organization while simultaneously providing something to do for members of the community and the car show participants.
The show will begin at 12 noon, allowing spectators to admire classic cars and antique tractors as well as peruse offerings from a large selection of local vendors. Food will also be available for purchase food from Nana B’s BBQ, The Mobil Smoke, and Frosty Fins. Also included in the event will be a Craft Show and a special performance by local musician Brett Mahon from 1 to 3 p.m. A swap meet for vehicles and car and tractor parts will also be part of the festivities. Swap meet and Craft Show exhibitors can set up at 9 a.m. with a space fee of $20. General admission will be by donation. There is plenty of space and fun for those of all ages.
