The museum that houses the largest collection of pioneer and agricultural memorabilia in the province has come up with a new idea about its old things.

The BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum is hosting Old and New Day. The event linking past and present takes place Sept. 6.

The museum has an extensive collection of tractors.

For Old and New Day, the vintage pieces will be paired up with their modern counterparts, with new models being provided for display by local tractor dealerships.

There will also be old and new autos on display courtesy of collectors and auto dealers, respectively.

The Lions Gate & Pacific Model A Clubs will feature their vehicles.

Members of the Valley Antique Engine Club will be operating their engines for people to see.

Aldor Acres will have some of its little furry friends there for the petting zoo.

Fresh cooked corn and pop will be for sale as well.

The activities take place 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the museum at 9131 King St., and admission is by donation. For more information, call 604-888-2273.

The farm museum is open seven days a week between April and Thanksgiving.

Run by volunteers since 1990, the museum was started in 1953.
