There are tons of activities on both Saturday and Sunday. There will be a car show, chili cook-off, craft sale, and entertainment on the grounds on Saturday! Sunday is also full of things to do! Be sure to check out the schedule! There are also lots of new additions to the grounds.

Be sure to check the schedule because there will be plenty of updates. New entertainment and activities will be posted! Also, the Car Show is back! Shine those babies up and bring 'em out!

People normally get there at around 7pm, so hopefully you will come and help! This weekend is full of events. On Saturday, people are oiling and shining up their tractors to drive them 63 miles for the Make A Wish tractor run. For more info, check out the CTR link on the Contacts page. Since everyone will be hungry from all that driving, Sunday is the Ice Cream Social in Rosholt! It will be held at the Community Center starting at 1pm. (We tested it already, and it's delicious!!) Hope to see you there! 04-10-08 Well, it's blizzarding and I can't get outside or anything so I found a site to upload all the Threshing pictures onto. So, now when you click the 'Pictures' link you will be sent to Flickr which has hundreds of pictures from the past Bees. Also, this Sunday the 13th is the dinner in New Effington for the Tractor Run. For more information, check the contact page for the link to the CTR page! 03-03-08 I hope you guys are hungry for pancakes!

That's all for now, but stay tuned for all the latest! . 2-9-2007 Update time! This is not exactly relating to the Threshing Bee, but a VERY good cause: On June 23rd there will be a Tractor Run benefiting the Make a Wish Foundation. I'm not sure of any exact details at this point, but I do know it'll start in New Effington, go through Rosholt, to Circle K, Sisseton, Claire City, and then back to New Effington. The entrance fee is $30 and that includes lunch and a t-shirt. There will be a street dance in New Effington that night following the run! When I know more about this, I'll let you know! Okay, onto Threshing business... thanks to all who came to the Christmas Party. It was fun and the food was great! And another thanks to the few of you who ventured out into tonight's brisk weather to come to the meeting. The annual pancake breakfast will be held on March 25th from 10am until 1pm at the Rosholt Community Center. Once again, it will be free will. And.... *drumroll* the cookbook will be ready for this year's bee! They will be $10 and there's about 250 recipes in it... and they're really good. :) Other than that, I don't know much!

If you see me, say hello! 7-13-2006 Yeah, yeah... I know. "Where's the updates, lady?" I blame work. Tell them to give me a few days off so I can update this site. I'm sure they'd understand. ;) Anyhoo, things are looking up this year! The crew is currently working on the restrooms, painting the school, and other upkeeps. They always need help so if you're interested in joining just show up on a Wednesday night from now until the Bee. The grounds will be buzzing with members running about. Don't be nervous about too much working though, they like to stand around and shoot the breeze, too. Now to the point of this update: new pictures! Check them out on the pictures page! 4-26-2006 Has anyone noticed the beautiful weather? I have, and that's probably why it's taken me forever to update. I've got great news though! The pancake feed was a huge success and a lot of fun! Thanks to those who came and helped and filled their stomachs! I've also been pretty busy typing away to get the cookbook done for this summer. There are tons of great recipes and I'm not even to the dessert section yet! That's all for this time... Good luck in the planting season! 3-19-2006 Hey threshermen and women! I just wanted to remind you all of the pancake feed on March 26th! It starts at 10am and will end at 1pm. It's a free will donation for some delicious pancakes, sausage, and eggs! What a deal, eh? Anyway, there will also be some pretty awesome door prizes to win. I hope to see you all there! 2-18-2006 Hey everyone! I'm finally getting around to updating. (Don't be too excited.)

It snowed today! Okay maybe I'm the only one excited about that, but I have the pictures up. So you can all be excited about that. Of course, the RATA Christmas party is coming up. When I have more info on that I'll let you know! 11-9-05 Okay so when I say a few weeks.. I mean a few months. I am seriously working on getting the pictures up now. I've been a busy girl. Anyway, I never got any emails about the CD's so I'm going to forget about that idea. However, the cookbook is in the process of being typed up. It will be done by next summer so don't worry! That's all for now. 8-23-05 First off, I'd like to thank all of you who attended! This year's bee was a lot of fun! I took a lot of pictures and I hope to get all the pictures up soon! (With work and school it may take a few weeks, but I'll get it done!!) If you would be interested in buying a CD with even more pictures and videos you can email me at allisolive@hotmail.com. Proceeds will go to the Threshermen, of course. 8-16-05 The bee is getting closer and the members are really excited for the weekend! The craft sale is going to be great, the tractors are shiny, and the cooks are getting their chili recipies perfected! Even though I don't have it up, there are tons of activites going on Saturday. Softball games start at 9am with the RHS class reunions, the city rummage sales, chili feeds, and the apprecation supper and dance at night. So drop your plans and call in sick if you're suppose to work this weekend because Rosholt is the place to be! I'm looking foward to seeing you all there! 8-14-05 The bee is a week away and the grounds are buzzing! The members are working hardto make this bee just as great as the years before!
