VIDEO: Last Blast bulldozes through weekend at museum

Witness the heavy equipment of a bygone era at work through Sunday until 4 p.m. at the Simcoe County Museum in Midhurst

One of the area’s most popular annual events is happening this weekend at the Simcoe County Museum in Midhurst.

The two-day Last Blast event greets visitors with tooting horns from steam engines and the rumble of iron workhorses of yesteryear, and continues through Sunday until 4 p.m.

Hosted by the museum and the Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA) of Canada, the museum property boasts working examples of steam shovels, rollers, graders, standalone power generating engines, vintage dump trucks and tractors, and much more.
