Reunion Days at Threshermen’s

Date:

Reunion Days at the Pembina Threshermen’s Museum gave visitors the chance to see and experience the pioneer life with demonstrations such as blacksmithing and threshing and hands-on activities like milking. The weekend also included vintage tractor parades (above), volunteers dressed in period attire, food, music, and more. The museum, located on Hwy. 3 between Winkler and Morden, is open daily for the season until the end of the month.
