Heading Back Into Time

     The Annual Threshing Bee was this weekend and it is always a great sight. It is held at the Patrick Ranch and offers a look back at early farming lifestyles. There are old single stroke engines, hay bundles, cotton spun and various things that bring back the memories of our early American heritage.
