📅 This weekend is our Mid-Lakes Agricultural Fair and Thresheree, presented in partnership with the Mid-Lakes Rustic Iron Club. Mark your calendars for September 12 and 13, from 10 am to 4 pm each day.
From the field to the farm and homes, the Fair and Thresheree features agricultural demonstrations, exquisite handiwork and produce, historic trades, and more. Step back in time and see the sights and steam-powered action that bring to life the stories of our heritage. Help us bring in the harvest using methods from centuries past. From vintage tractors to hands-on history, you can relive nostalgia of our agricultural roots.
🚜 A parade through the historic Pinecrest Village will take place each day at 12 pm.
🚜 Visit our historic homes and busy kitchens. Stop at Shadyside School to try some 19th century games on the front lawn. Talk with our tradespeople who practice and preserve timeless skills like cheesemaking and blacksmithing.
🚜 Demonstrations will take place throughout the day at the sawmill and around the ag arena space including haying, corn husker and shredder, and binding.
And more! Find a full schedule on our website at https://www.manitowoccountyhistory.org/programs/fair-thresheree
