ROSE CITY — Bill Butcher of Osakis took his 10-year-old granddaughter, Bella Sherman, also of Osakis, to the Rose City Threshing and Heritage Festival at the end of July.

The annual event took place July 30-31, 2022, near Rose City.

Butcher, an avid photographer, took dozens of photos at the event and posted his photos not only on his own Facebook page , but also to the festival's Facebook page.

He could've also submitted his own photos to the newspaper, but instead, Butcher submitted nearly a dozen photos that his 10-year-old granddaughter took at the event. She's been learning photography from him for a couple of years.

Here's a look at just a few of her photos:
