In this month’s episode of Wyoming’s Wind River Country: Yellowstone’s Unique Neighbor, Charene Herrera heads to Shoshoni for the 29th annual Wind River Flywheelers Antique Engine and Tractor Show.

Recorded on location at East Park Rest Area, the episode brings listeners into the heart of this free, family-friendly celebration of rural heritage. With the scent of motor oil and grilled burgers in the air, guests share what fuels their passion for vintage machines—and what keeps this beloved event rolling year after year.

The 2025 show was the Northwest Regional Gathering, and it drew even more engines, tractors and enthusiasts from across the region, turning Shoshoni into a buzzing hub of history, horsepower and hometown pride.

Whether you’re a collector, a curious newcomer or someone who just loves the sound of a well-tuned engine, this episode is a tribute to the folks who preserve and celebrate Wyoming’s mechanical past—one spark plug at a time.
