2026 Hawk Show Recap
The 2026 Hawk Show at the Dale and Martha Hawk Museum in Wolford, North Dakota was one for the record books! Friends and families traveled from across the United States and Canada to enjoy three days filled with tractors, history, fellowship, and fun.
This year's show featured the Oliver Legacy Lines. We had 159 tractors, 12 implements, and 74 campers, with a record 92 tractors participating in Saturday's parade. The grounds were busy all weekend as visitors enjoyed the exhibits, demonstrations, tractor trek, silent auction, great food, and evening entertainment.
One of the highlights was the Thursday evening Tractor Trek to Father's Farm, where attendees toured the unique greenhouse operation and enjoyed an evening of fellowship. Saturday's activities included Bill Martinson's Corporate Tractor presentation, Jim Norlin's plow setup seminar, and entertainment by Tim Mosser.
The silent auction raised $905 for improvements to the museum's bathroom and shower facilities. Northern Lights Oliver Collectors also raised $350 for Father's Farm through proceeds from the tractor trek meal and Saturday breakfast.
Congratulations to our award winners:
Best Original: John Adams, 1950 Cockshutt FWA
Best Restored: Rick Green, Hart-Parr
People's Choice: Lyman Halverson, Minneapolis-Moline JT
A special thank you goes to the Hawk family, our volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, and everyone who attended. Events like this are only possible because of the many people willing to lend a hand and share their passion for preserving agricultural history. Thank you for making the 2026 Hawk Show such a memorable weekend.
