Rough And Tumble Old Threshermen 9 s Reunion
You might have called it the greatest show
on earth if you were an old time steam and gas

have argued with you. At least you could join
others in calling the event “one of the oldest
shows of its kind."

starting at the top: (Row 1) Lots of power on
the belt; Threshing and baling; Master of
ceremonies Roland Woodward. (Row 2) Two
horse power winding down the baler;
Blowing chaff. (Row 3) Real horse power; A
fork full of straw for the baler; Turning wheels,
belts and pullies make dust; “Like father, like
son.” (Row 4) Old timers reminisce; They have
the engine fired up.
