Rose City Threshing and Heritage Festival

Food, parades, and threshing - this year's Rose City Threshing and Heritage Festival will take place on August 10- 12.

Some of the highlighted events at the festival include gang plowing, threshing, chain saw carving, a blacksmith shop, old cars and trucks, a children's barn and a flea market.

And what is a festival without food? Breakfast will be served Saturday and Sunday in the dining room and includes pancakes, sausage, rolls, juice, coffee and milk.

A pork chop dinner will also be held both days. Other foods available in the dining hall include barbecues, chips, pie, brownies, potato salad, coleslaw, beans and lemonade.

There is also a hot dog stand, taco-in-a-bag stand, 4-H ice cream and Rose City fries.
