2026 Thank You!

The Butterfield Threshermens Board of Directors extends its deepest appreciation to the community of volunteers who made this year’s 59th Annual Steam and Gas Engine Show an overwhelming success. The annual historic celebration, widely known as the Threshing Bee, relies entirely on the dedication of local supporters to host its three days of machinery demonstrations, tractor pulls and pioneer life exhibits.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to each and every person who lent a hand, without your vital support we simply could not put on a show. Your exceptional hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.

With a successful 2026 event concluded, the Board is already turning its attention toward next year’s historic milestone. The 60th Annual Butterfield Threshing Bee is officially scheduled to take place at Voss Park On August 20^th, 21^st, and 22^nd, 2027. The special feature theme will celebrate “60 Years of Horsepower” highlighting classic cars, trucks, and equipment manufactured during the 1960s.
