Thresherman's Reunion & Old Chicago....

...all in one day! My cousin Betsy Doorneweerd came to visit last weekend over Labor Day! It was so super special. Saturday was spent on the historic Washington Square window shopping and Sunday afternoon was spent at the 60th annual Thresherman's Reunion in Pontiac, IL...yep, that's right - 60 years of old tractors, old relics, old junk, and old men! We (Arlan, Bets, and I) were privileged to accompany Orlan & Carol and Auntie Vera to Pontiac to witness this cultural event!

After a short road trip, we met up with some more friends on the Peoria riverfront to enjoy Old Chicago pizza. Hmm...only in Midwest would both of these lovely events happen in the span of a few short hours.
