Shirktown Threshers


On Saturday Leroy and Gene went to the Shirktown Thresher's show near Churchtown. Leroy knew about this annual event for quite a few years but had never gone. I figured it was a guy thing and stayed home. It was much smaller than Rough & Tumble at Kinzers, but turned out to be larger than he expected. They demonstrated threshing with flails and a horsepower, as well as with this threshing machine powered by a Titan.

There were other things being displayed and demonstrated in addition to tractors and threshing machines. People of all shapes and sizes were there. Isn't this little guy adorable? I guess he'll "grow into" his hat. Bread was being baked in the old bake oven beside the house.
I might go along if he goes again next year. It looks like there is something interesting for everyone after all.
