Unless you have attended it is very hard to imagine over 25,000 people in the tiny town of Butterfield, just off of Highway 60 in Southwestern Minnesota. However, it’s true. The 44th Annual Butterfield Threshermen’s Steam and Gas Engine show will draw one of the largest crowds for a two-day event in the State of Minnesota.
This year’s show will feature Ford and Fordson equipment and a stock antique tractor pull on Friday at 6:30 pm.
Senior citizens do not have to wait until opening day to see many of the displays because on Thursday beginning at 11:00 am there will be the Senior Day Picnic at Voss Park plus entertainment.
Other highlights of the 44th Annual show include:
• Open Stage Friday, August 20 at 7:00 pm
• Over 200 magnificently restored antique tractors
• Big collection of classic cars and trucks
• Pioneer buildings from a village featuring early school, church, homestead, general store/drug store, blacksmith, livery, print shop, broom-making shop, harness shop, log cabin from early area homestead, depot and more!
• Crafts and antiques on display and watch lefse being baked, rope being made, butter being churned, corn husk dolls created and more!
• Bus tours are welcome
• Antique tractors will be plowing
• Anyone welcome to bring gas or model engines.
• Free parking and camping facilities available
•Shaded Lakeside Site
A real highlight of the 44th Annual event will be Bluegrass music featured on stage both days in the shade of Voss Park.
