Have a schedule. Make sure something is happening every couple of hours all day long. 7-9am pancake breakfast, (by local business club?), 8-11 threshing near grandstand, 10-12 sawmill demo. 11-2 fried chicken dinner (by local church?) 12-4 spinning and weaving demo (by local quilt club) 1pm parade of power, 3-6 plowing, 3-6 tractor pull. You get the idea, something going/changing all the time. Also some things all day long - flea market, home made bread and homemade butter booth (by 4h group), coffee -ice tea - soda stand, assorted demos. Customize activities to the materials, buildings and grounds you have available. Cater to the tractor exhibitors - does someone want to do silage chopping, corn shelling, baling?
INSURANCE.
Feed the crowd: general all-day-long refreshment stands or food court, and also featured meals.
Transportation - hay rack rides to/from the parking area, sight-seeing rides around the display area.
Call on other groups for their skills: Home arts, blacksmithing, broom making, boy scouts.
Sponsor a flea market and community garage sale or the grounds.
For kids - pedal tractor pull, straw bale maze for the littlest ones, sandbox coin hunt, barrel train ride.
