Join Us!
If
you have an interest in antique or classic farm equipment, agricultural
history, or pioneer skills, then you need to be a member of the
Pioneer Harvest Fiesta!
Annual dues
are $10.00 per person.
Membership benefits include: monthly meetings, a monthly
newsletter, a commemorative button, and
admission to the Annual Show held the last weekend in
September.
You'll
also get to
meet a group of friendly, hard-working people who
are dedicated to preserving our rural past.
We have
volunteer opportunities available for everyone, both
during the Annual Show and throughout the year. A few examples of
volunteer activities include: helping with the wheat harvest, participating in area parades,
giving
demonstrations on farm equipment, repairing and maintaining show
grounds and equipment, helping with spring plowing, and tending the
corn crop. If you're looking for something less strenuous, you
can help staff the exhibit booth
at
fairs and home shows, work at the quilt show, take tickets, fold
brochures, give tours to school children, or participate on
committees. Whatever your skills are, we can use them!
For information
on joining the organization, contact Duane Ledford,
President (dledford@classicnet.net),
or any one of the Fiesta members.
