Every year Old Threshers Reunion in Mount Pleasant is a highlight on our calendar. Thousands of people gather to see old-time equipment in action, have some good food, and watch quality shows. I rarely get to go down myself since it is during Mount Mercy's academic year and the bees need attention in late summer, but Alex and Phil have made the journey for many years. Here is their current setup--it has grown a lot since the first foray they made to sell our wares! The much-loved Iowa Honey Queen even came to help us this year--she has been all over the state making presentations. She is talking to my dad in the pic (surprise, the one with the crown!) Back home in extracting land, here is Andrew's new pastime....lending a hand in the extracting room! I still have a clear memory of uncapping with a hot knife and cranking a four frame extractor when I was a couple years older than him, so he's a bit ahead of the curve running a 50-frame radial at age 3!
