HOMER — The annual Homer Threshing Bee, sponsored by the West Central Region Cockshutt & Co-op Club, will be Saturday and Sunday in Homer.

The event begins at 8 a.m. each day.

The $5 admission is good for both days.

On Saturday, the Lehigh Lions Club will serve a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m.

Also on Saturday, in the afternoon there will be special music by the High Trestle Rovers.

The food stand will be open from noon on Saturday until Sunday.

A tractor ride from Homer around Brushy Creek State Recreation Area will begin at 9 a.m. on Sunday, weather permitting.

On site both days will be displays of antique tractors, gas engines, hog oilers and a Farm Primitive Museum. There will also be demonstrations of oat threshing, corn shelling, blacksmithing by Boone Forks Forge Blacksmithing, and the firing up of the Cecil Widick Family Antique Sawmill.
