An upcoming event that may be of interest to MMD'ers is Threshing
Days in Goessel, Kansas on August 3, 4, and 5.  "More than 100
exhibitors from a 7-state area [will] display and demonstrate antique
equipment related to farming during the past century."  Steam engines
will be included in the demonstrations so here is an opportunity for
steam power enthusiasts to see these machines in action.
