Here in SE Indiana we don't have quite that many shows, but we're getting there. I'm not a member, but I have visited 2 shows this year. The Greensburg Power of the Past show had a lot of tractors, but after awhile all the JD Bs start to look alike, you know? And the flea market was almost purely flea market crap. They had a nice selection of food venders.
The FARM (Farming Antique & Related Machinery) Club show in Osgood had fewer tractors, but I think it had more demonstrations going. Much more of the flea market was actually related to old equipment, old tractors and parts. No extra charge to try to sell. There were more food venders than in previous years.
I will probably go to both shows again next year, but I liked the smaller FARM Club show better because it had a more varied collection of equipment to see and watch.
As a spectator I can say that while rows of tractors can get boring, there can be more. A cider press operating will attract attention. Chopping silage looks impressive. And everyone likes to see a team of oxen or horses. If you really want to attract more families, make it an antique farm show instead of an antique tractor show. Heck, a lot of people would love to see an early washing machine even.
