It's an opportunity to flashback to the simpler days of harvest.
Russell's annual Threshing Day takes place on Saturday, starting at 1:00 p.m. It's at the Bender Farm, located south of Russell and north of Binscarth. Turn west on Road 113N, then go three miles into the Bender Farm.
Nikki Bender welcomes anyone who wants to check it out.
"It's a get-together. We get some oats off," said Bender. "Our neighbour has an old threshing machine, old tractors, and all the hay racks. A bunch of community members get together and those who have the same passion as our neighbour and us."
This is the eighth annual event. There will be a cash canteen, and you're asked to bring your own lawn chair.
"We look forward to it every year. We try to get it done as soon as we can," ended Bender. "Hopefully, many show up. Harvest is going in full swing around here. Many old-timers show up, and community members. It's always a great day."
