47 th Annual Southeast Old Threshers’ Reunion To Be Held June 30-July 4
Family-Friendly Farm Show Also Includes Antique Tractors, Live Music, Train Rides, and More
Denton, NC – The 47 th Annual Southeast Old Threshers’ Reunion, the largest steam, gas-engine and antique farm show in the Southeastern U.S., will take place June 30 to July 4 at Denton FarmPark. Along with historic demonstrations of threshing – from horse-drawn to steam-and gas-powered machinery — hundreds of antique tractors, cars and engines will be on display daily.
The festival began as a celebration of threshing, the process of separating edible grain from the inedible chaff that surrounds it. In recent years, the Reunion has expanded to include more than 1,000 antique tractors, including the “Allis’s of the East” collection of tractors dating from 1914 to 1985. Other activities include wood sawing demonstrations, border collie herding, crafts, tractor-pull and pedal-pull contests for all ages, live music and kids’ activities. A new addition this year is the personal collection of Coca Cola memorabilia by Keith Loflin.
