Keeping the Heritage Alive
Celebrating our 56th Show August 13-15th, 2027
The very first Threshing Show was held in August of 1971. The Threshermen and Collectors Association was formally organized on December 11, 1974. On October 31, 1975, the members of the Association voted to accept a land gift of 15 acres from Ed and Agnes Sundholm for the development of the “Heritage Site”. From its humble beginnings, the Association has poured itself into and grown one of the best collector shows in the region. With the help of loyal volunteers, exhibitors and patrons, the show’s future will shine on for generations.
2027 Show Feature
The National Rumely Collectors Show
The Rumely Product Collectors will hold their annual expo at this year’s coming show set for August 13-15, 2027. The national organization holds the annual show at different locations across the country. The mission of the organization is to preserve the heritage of the Rumely Company and the other companies it accumulated over the years including: Advance Thresher Co., Aultman-Taylor Co., Gaar-Scott, Northwest Thresher Co., American Able, Olds Gas Engines, and others. The organization also works to educate others on the history of agriculture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rumely was founded in 1853 and was sold to Allis-Chalmers in 1931.
Serving as president of the organization is Keith Kuhlengel from Palmyra, PA and vice president is Reese Groshong of Columbia, MO. There are about 180 families that belong to the organization with the majority of them from the Midwest. The Rumely Product Collectors were last in Albert City for the show in 2009. In 2028 they head to the National Threshers Assocation on June 22-25 at Wauseon, Ohio. To join the Rumely Products Collectors, visit their website at www.rumely-collectors.com.
