This past weekend we got to enjoy our first Old Threshers experience. Living so close growing up you would think that is crazy, but it is just one of those things we never did. Now that we are residents we feel that we need to get into the tractor, steam engine spirit! Actually we wanted to see what the hype was all about. At the school where Mackenzie is going to preschool there is a lot of opportunity to volunteer and one way was to work 2 shifts at the Jr/Sr funnel cake booth at Old Threshers and you got the week pass for free. Well if you know me, I am always up for a challenge and making funnel cakes sounded kind of fun along with the free pass of course. The celebration started off with a parade the wed. before filled with tractors, cars, horses and steam engines galore!
Thursday after my shift my sister came up to go with us and after a late dinner.....the food is my favorite part (I had to let the girls try the funnel cakes so they knew what I was making)......we walked around a little and rode on the trolley! By the time we got on the trolley it was too dark to see anything. So we didn't get to see much that night, but hoped to go back.
Aaron and I did get our first date since we moved on Sat night....my sister and brother in law watched the girls while we took in the second best part of Old Threshers.....the concerts. They always seem to bring in pretty good artists every year. We saw Phil Vassar on Sat by ourselves and then Sun night after my last funnel cake shift we took the girls to Collin Ray and Restless Heart. They were all fun to watch and of course sing along to some tunes from back in the day! We enjoy a little country now and then! All in all we think we'll try it again next year!

Your life is complete now. Old Threshers is soothing for the soul. Growing up in MP, the sounds of the train whistle, the robber's gun shots, the smell of the steam engines, the taste of very greasy food sticks in my mind forever.
I still am just loving the fact you guys are living in Mt. Pleasant. I can't wait to see how the next 5 years of your life transpires in my little hometown. I can't wait for your kids to have the same teachers as I did.
