After it was delayed a week because of this year's late harvest, Threshing Day has officially been scheduled for tomorrow. The day runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the site is located a mile and a half north of Dauphin on Highway 362.
Dauphin Agricultural Heritage Club President Dennis Forbes says that because of the delay this year, and limited time to plan, it will have to be a slightly scaled-down event.
"What we plan on doing is a scaled-down version of other years. We will be cutting with a binder, and stooking, and then threshing a good portion of the crop that we're dealing with. We will also swatch and combine with a vintage combine. One of our members is going to bring a team of horses and a wagon in and give rides, and I intend to have my forage there and do some blacksmith demonstration."
The event is free to attend and the 4-H Club will also be on-site with a concession.
