PHOTOS: Annual Steam Threshing Jamboree brings enjoyable for all ages

Prairie Village attracted tons of from throughout the nation for its annual Steam Threshing Jamboree.

The multi-day occasion, which ran from Aug. 27-30, combines training, historical past, agriculture and enjoyable. Farmers and tractor lovers deliver their equipment for shows and parades, which run all through the occasion. Volunteers spend their time operating the kitchen, historic trains and demonstrations whereas excited attendees observe and take part.

Between the parades, demonstrations and different actions, the historic village inducts one particular person into the Prairie Village Hall of Fame. This yr, Lisa Stewart was the honoree. Stewart, who runs the Prairie Village kitchen, acquired the distinction for her endless dedication and constructive perspective, based on the induction ceremony on Aug. 29.

A characteristic article on Stewart’s work with Prairie Village will run within the Madison Daily Leader at a later date.
