YORKTON - It will be a change to go ‘back to the farm’ as the Western Development Museum in Yorkton hosts a day based on the theme. 

Volunteers from the Yorkton Threshermen’s Club and the Western Development Museum will be providing value-added experiences for museum visitors including the operation of various vintage tractors from the WDM Collection, binding the crop and plowing the back field, as well as other activities to be announced.  

These activities, set for Saturday, July 30, are included with regular museum admission and are free for WDM members. The event will be held 12 noon to 4 p.m. 

Traditionally the August long weekend has been filled with the sights and sounds of the Threshermen’s Show & Seniors’ Festival. Although the partnering organizations had anticipated hosting the event once again, organizers again pressed pause for 2022.  

Volunteers are planning for the return of the full event in August 2023.
