The North Central Minnesota Farm & Antique Association was formed May 8, 1985, after about 10 folks interested in antique farm equipment got together for a meeting.

​

Over the next few weeks, more meetings were held, officers and committees were established, and more folks started to join.

 

The first "Threshing Bee" was held on August 11, 1985. Each piece of equipment was proudly owned and operated by the members. As the show progressed, more and more started to show interest, hence the Association growing, and more equipment started to be donated to the club.

​

The Show is now in its 40th year and is still working hard to give visitors a glimpse into the "good ol' days".
