The 44th annual 'Pierce Old Time Threshers Bee' took place over the weekend. This year’s bee featured Case Tractors and equipment with Hercules and Economy engines. One of the organizers, John Schoenauer, was happy with the turnout of this year's bee.

"We had a very successful show this year. We featured Case Tractors and equipment. We had 52 Case Tractors and some of them were very unusual," added Schoenauer.

This year's bee also featured some very rare tractors as well.

"We had two Crawler Tractors there that they believe are only three of them left in the world. Two tractors that were made prior to 1920 and were both running very well, " said Schoenauer.

There was also a variety of activities for the whole family, including demonstrations of old-time farming.
