Stayed long enough to watch the parade of combines, then left due to the heat. I don't believe the turnout was as large this year. This annual event is something to see if you haven't been there before. Lots of food vendors, entertainment, farm animals, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis is so dumb. Just invented by a local banker/mayor to bring in people from out of town to bring in $$$$. It's all about the money!
ReplyDelete1:50 .. You don't know what you're talking about. It is more about bringing the community together, and it does! A lot of hard work from volunteers goes into this event. Hope to hear from some of the locals who make this happen!
