Valmy Thresheree powering through

If you want to complement your Door County Fair experience with more family fun and agriculture, members of the Northeastern Wisconsin Antique Power Association hope you make the short trip to Valmy this weekend. The organization will host its 41st edition of its Valmy Thresheree on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, featuring Massey tractors this year. The Valmy Thresheree is a throwback to yesteryear with its blacksmith shop, replica gas station, and antique farm implement demonstrations. NEWPA member Ralph Bochek says the event will also feature antique tractors and chainsaws showing their power.

The Valmy Thresheree also features food, music, kids' activities, and the Sunday mud pig wrestling event. The full schedule of events is below.
