The 42nd annual Butterfield Threshing Bee was held this weekend. Dad came to Minnesota to see what has changed. The weather certainly had, for the better, after last year's complete rain out of the Bee. The kids helped with the threshing of oats on P.K. Laingen's original threshing machine!
Dad found a local newspaper from 1981 kind of interesting!
Vern came along, too! Here are the kids making braided rope...We had a fun day on the prairie! Here is Arvid driving a restored John Deere, Libby exploring the cats in the barn at the Laingen farm, Dad and Luke watching the tractor parade, and the kids driving Arvid's new "Gator." Curt's daughter "Kinzie" is with them.
...OH, and true to tradition, we launched rockets - about 12 times - and none of them got stuck in Arvid's trees this year - sorry, no photos!
