Rock River Thresheree planning for Memorial Day Weekend

Rock River Thresheree is planning its 64th Annual Reunion show in early September. The theme this year will be “Orphans and Oddballs,” so any one in Janesville with antique farm equipment made by a short-lived company is invited to bring it for display.

Stationery printers like to use pictures of antique tractors and farm equipment for Postcards and personalized stationery. Along with the mammoth flea and antique market, the 200 acres will have a swap meet, antique tractor and truck pulls, and a consignment auction.

The Natural Amphitheater will have a Parade of Power each day at 2:00 pm. The sawmill will be open from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm daily and the Cornmeal and Buckwheat Gristmill, and sorghum and shingle mills will also be in operation.

The Steam Powered Pile Driver will be in operation every hour beginning at 10:00 am. Rock River Machine Works, gas engines, and model engines will be on display. A car show, and Drive a Tractor will be available from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. There will be plowing and crops demonstrations, a Sears House, and Baker Fan and Dynamometer demonstrations. At 11:00 am on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, guests can dig for potatoes.

There will be a Kiddie Pedal Pull, pony and barrel train rides and a corn sandbox for the kids.

Rock River Thresheree 2020 Show will be from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm from September 4 to 7 at 51 E Cox Road, Edgerton.
