Threshers.

Every year we take the boys to the

Forest City Threshers show & Stockade.

As kids my sister & I have some great memories

attending these festivities & I'm sure our boys

will do the same.
The boys and I got to ride on the trolley while Grandpa Wayne & Gabe
drove the cockshutt tractor
to the Threshers at Forest City.

They absolutely loved watching the tractor pull.

We read the Tractor Mac book a lot,

which is all about tractor pulls,

so this was sure something to actually watch a pull in action!

We took a rest stop listening to the 'Wagon Wheelers'

and we loved them.

I screamed a little after each song & asked for 'more Johnny Cash'.

And the Wheelers followed through.

We also enjoyed strawberry & chocolate malts from the Thresher's building.

Then the boys wanted a ride on the train.

So grandpa hopped on the dually & gave them a ride,

along with other kids that jumped in the barrels.

Watching more of the tractor pull.

The Threshers has a lot for kids to do.....farm style.

As in dangerous swings, liability teeter totters, & old merry go rounds!

But ohhh what fun for everyone.

Grandpa Wayne also gave trolley rides around the Threshers for people

& the boys got a front row seat up top.

Then we headed over to the Stockade.

We mingled with some crazy people

who dress like indians

& pioneers,

I don't think the boys knew what to think!

G & G Johnson bought them rock candy, elephant ears,

homemade ice cream & anything else

their little eyes desired.

Forest City can sure provide some great entertainment!
