Owners of the annual event, Gary Thoe and Gary Truitt, said, “After two years of successful operation and growth, this was a difficult decision. We feel this is in the long-term best interest of those who exhibit and attend. We do, however, have some very exciting news about the 2021 and 2022 shows.”

Thoe and Truitt announced on the event’s webpage, beginning in 2021, the Indiana Farm Equipment and Technology Expo will be held at Grand Park in Westfield.

“This new venue will totally change the look and feel of the show and provide some great amenities for both exhibitors and attendees,” said Truitt. “The exhibit area will be much larger with expansive height and clearance to better showcase large equipment. The facility features quick and easy access off interstate highways and over 1,000 free parking spaces. Dozens of restaurants and hotels are within minutes of the facility and a variety of shopping and entertainment choices are also conveniently located in the area. This will make a visit to the farm show for a great family outing during the holiday season.”

The dates for the 2021 show are scheduled for Dec. 14-16.
