Members of the Shelby County Antique Power Association and Logan County Antique Engine Tractor Club stand in front of the Lockington Dam on Sunday, June 26, 2022. The two groups were hosted by the Miami Conservancy District. The Lockington Dam regulates Loramie Creek to keep downstream communities safe from high water. The two tractor groups also visited Johnston Farm and the old Lockington Locks.
