PARADES:

Feature Parade

The Feature Parade will be held each day at 10:30 AM and is strictly for items belonging to this year's J.I. Case feature. Those interested in entering and driving something through this special daily parade are asked to stop in the Feature Building and fill out a Feature Parade Card.

Threshermen Parade

The Threshermen Parade is held each day at 4:30 PM and lasts for almost an hour.  Entries included antique trucks, autos and tractors, military vehicles, color guard, and other miscellaneous items.   

SAFETY RULES:  Drivers must be able to adequately and safely control and stop their vehicle.  Riders are only allowed on a secure seat or platform and/or standing behind the rear axle of vehicle and any towed implements.  Young drivers are HIGHLY encouraged to have a parent or responsible adult ride with them.  Small tractors - no more than one passenger.  Riding on fenders is not permitted.

TRACTOR PULLS:

Friday Night Fun Pull

The Friday Night Fun Pull will take place on Friday evening after the Threshermen Parade (right around 6:00 PM) on the high ground in the middle of the Field Activities area. This special event is for J.I. Case tractors only. Even though we keep it simple, with no entrance fees or prizes, this pull proves to be tons of fun for all!

Antique Amateur Tractor Pull

An Antique Amateur Tractor Pull is tentatively scheduled for Saturday August 13, 2011 at 9:00 AM.  Participants are asked to  read through the Rules & Regulations, then print the Registration Form, fill it out completely, and bring it along. (Copies of both are also available onsite the morning of the pull.)  This is a non-sanctioned pull.  The cost is $15.00 per hook, payable at the time of registration.  Trophies are presented to the winners in each division.

CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES:

Old Fashioned Games

Old-fashioned games for children of all ages will be held each day at 1:00 PM south of the Petting Barn area. Lasting about an hour, the games vary from hoop rolling and sack races to water balloon toss and watermelon seed spitting. A corn pile with coins inside wrapped up the activities each day, with children getting to keep whatever amount they found! There was no need to sign up in advance - the kids just showed up, joined in the fun, and continued adding Threshermen ribbons to their growing collections!

Pedal Pull

A Pedal Pull will be held on Saturday at 10:00 AM in front of the Red Craft Building. This is a free event for all children between the ages of 4 and 12, and is sponsored and run by the B.V. County Farm Bureau. There are four age groups: 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12. Each child receives a participant ribbon, and the winner in each of the four classes receives a trophy. Tractors will be switched for each class, so they are size-appropriate. This year, there will be a table set up in the Red Craft Building for children to sign up on Saturday morning instead of the Gas Station building.  

Scavenger Hunt

This is an activity offered for the young and old alike. Participants can choose to use the Eye Spy Picture Bingo on one side, or the riddles on the other. These pictures and riddles help both children and families discover the many activities and displays around the grounds. Sharp eyes and eager feet are all that are required. Guests are encouraged to stop in the Gas Station building anytime throughout the weekend to pick up the fun, free activity sheet.
