"It's so fluffy...!"

My wonderful "little" Gypsy, not so little anymore.

He's such a fun dog, I enjoy him so much!

Attending the Western Minnesota Steam Thresher's Reunion has always been fun for me. It's so interesting to see all the steam engines, the sawmill, watch the forge at work, and visit all the old-fashioned shops. And this year I got to bring my wonderful friend, Mary, which is always a treat!

"It all started in 1940 with a little idea sparked from the soul of some local thresherman over supper. The Nelson boys fired up the old Garr-Scott engine to thresh with steam again for old time sake with family & friends. The event continued once a year until 1954, when Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion met formally for the first time and invited the public. Today the show has grown to include hundreds of demonstrations and exhibits spread over 210 beautiful acres. The show attracts thousands of spectators and volunteers every Labor Day weekend." (Source)
