2025 Boro Sand & Stone Show
The Northeast Rockbusters Antique Equipment Show that was held in North Attleboro MA at the Boro Sand & Stone pit on September 26th, 27th and 28th was an overwhelming success! The weather was great, and there was plenty of action and earthmoving going on! The Rockbusters want to thank all of the Spectators, Exhibitors that attended, and all of the folks that brought their antique equipment, trucks and displays for all to see. We especially want to thank the Rockbuster Members who put in a lot of time and effort to make this show a success. We also could not have pulled this show off without the generosity of the Walsh Family members. Thank you Tom Walsh and the rest of the Walsh family for hosting our show! Check back soon for photos of the 2025 show that will be uploaded to the Photo / Videos page

We are the Northeast Rockbusters, the New England Chapter of the Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA) which is headquartered in Bowling Green Ohio. We would like to welcome you to our organization and let you know what's in store for you if you become a member of our organization. First - there is no requirement to own or operate equipment to be a member. All you need is just to be interested.

As a member you will receive, "Rockbuster News", our chapter newsletter. The newsletter announces upcoming meetings, includes articles of historical interest, and stories from our most recent adventures. We also publish classified ads free for our members. We have an annual schedule of events listing; this includes not only antique equipment shows, but tractor and truck shows as well. This list is the most complete you will find. It alone is worth the price of membership.

We meet at least six times a year, usually at a member's home or shop. By moving around we can see what our fellow members have for "toys", as well as their everyday equipment. Meetings are usually held on a Sunday with a "show and tell" session. Members bring photo albums, old literature, stories, etc., all being items of interest. Technical problems and questions, about where to find obsolete machines or parts have been answered at our meetings. The best part is the people you meet, and getting the "free history lessons".

Northeast Rockbuster's dues are $25.00 per calendar year. In order to become a member of a chapter, you are required to be a member of the National Organization, (HCEA); dues for HCEA are $45.00 per calendar year. Join as a new HCEA member here. Log-in to renew your existing HCEA membership here.

As a member of the HCEA, you will receive a magazine called Equipment Echoes, which is published quarterly. As a member, we would love to see your attendance at the HCEA International Convention. This show is something you probably have never seen before. Displays just don't sit there; they are out there digging, hauling, and working. You'll hear the sounds, see the sights, and smell the smells... with fellow iron enthusiasts. It's the time of the year all the "Big Boys" look forward to, when we get to take out our "Big Boy Toys" and play in the dirt. So, welcome all new-comers! Pack your work boots and your play clothes when you come to a show, and if you play really nice, you might get to run a machine or two. (That's with the owner's permission, of course!)
