September 3-6

Welcome to Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion! Every Labor Day weekend since 1954, generations of threshermen & women get together to relive the tradition of the good ol’ days and bring the past to life for the enjoyment of young and old alike. Come by next Labor Day and check out the show. We’ll see you at the Hill, ‘Where the Sun Always Shines in Your Heart!’

In 2010, our Expo will be Allis Chalmers. We hope to have a wide array of engines from farming to construction and harvest machinery. If you have any Allis equipment, please contact our Expo Chair at AllisExpo2010@rollag.com. As time progresses towards the Expo, we will provide more information on our Expo page, so please be sure to check back.
