The annual Threshing Day Celebration is coming up Saturday at Sheppard Family Park.

It should also be hot with a high of 32° Celsius as volunteers take part in the old-time threshing and harvesting of a crop of hay.

Volunteer Dave King says they have a great crop this year too.

"Yeah, a lot of times in past years we don't have a whole lot to put through the machine and demo. But this year we'll definitely have a good couple of hours in the morning and a good couple of hours in the afternoon for many people to be able to stop by and see it. It's going to be a good day."

Besides the threshing demonstrations, King says they have a lot more going on.

"Toys from the dealerships for draws for kids, people can pick a brand and pick a piece of wood that people get to take home. And that's right beside the blacksmith shop with the blacksmiths doing demonstrations plus we have a Ferrier there working and all those things."

And don't forget those pies.  Mrs. King (Dave's mom) makes delicious homemade pies for sale.

Here's their poster listing everything going on.
