Prairie Village Threshing Jamboree will be held August 24-26, 2001. This event celebrates the romance of years gone by. As in the past, families and neighbors gather to bind, shock and thresh the season's grain harvest. Antique tractors and equipment, along with horse and steam traction engines, are used in this authentic demonstration. Come and enjoy a lifelike journey into the past in this pioneer town as you stroll through the over 40 restored and furnished buildings.
Camping is available with other lodging nearby.
Traverse County Fair is one of Minnesota's most popular, old-fashioned county fairs. Valley Threshing Show in Andover will be held on September 8-9, 2001. A cloud of steam will roll across Hwy 212 as the James Valley Threshing Show pays tribute to the harvest and the area's pioneering forefathers. Enjoy a moonlight steam ride and a steam-powered fireworks display. An old-time saw mill, an antique gas station, a flea market and much, much more will make this weekend a wonderful family event.
