It's never too early to begin making your plans to attend the 65th Annual Reunion of the National Threshers Association, June 25 - 28, 2009, at the Fulton County Fairgrounds near Wauseon, Ohio.
Russell steam engines will be featured at the 2009 reunion, along with John Deere tractors and equipment. The show will feature more than 40 steam engines, as well as hundreds of gas tractors and gas engines. Daily demonstrations include threshing, baling, sawmill, shingle mill, plowing and machinery parades with covered grandstand seating for spectators.
Other highlights include antique tractor and steam engine pulling displays, belting contests, evening spark shows, prony brake horsepower testing, Baker fans and much more. Air-powered engines displays are also featured, along with photos and memorabilia displays dating back to the reunion's first show in 1945.
Official National Threshers Association merchandise, including shirts, hats, postcards and old show badges is available under the grandstand. An extensive flea market features tractor and steam engine parts, authentic and reproduction manuals, antique and new tools, collectibles, signs, decals and a wide variety of other items.
