If you like your tractors orange or want to explore agricultural history with your family, Valmy is the place to go this weekend as they host their 42nd annual Thresheree. Along with the food, music, tractor pulls, mud pig wrestling, and family activities, nearly 30 antique implements will demonstrate what farming looked like decades ago. Dozens of tractors from yesteryear will also be on display, emphasizing Allis-Chalmers models. Allis-Chalmers tractors and machinery were produced in Milwaukee for nearly a century before shutting down in 2009. Ralph Bocheck says Allis-Chalmers has a long history in Door County, and he is happy that there continues to be an interest in agricultural history that spans generations.
The Valmy Thresheree starts on Friday night with a barn dance and continues through Sunday with a tractor parade and mud pig wrestling. You can see the full schedule below.
