Photos: Threshing Bee and Tractor Show

Antique farm equipment was on display over the weekend as school groups and community members toured Northwest Antique Power Association's annual Threshing Bee and Tractor Show near Columbia Falls. Demonstrations allowed guests to make rope, test antique washing equipment and ride old fire engines as they learned the heritage of farm life.
