We have been invited to participate in the Patrick Ranch Threshing
Been and Country Fair June 7th and 8th. Are you interested? It is
over a month away but it is located Chico. I have already sent them a
bunch of questions that I want to get answered before we commit but I
thought I would get your input up front. Here is the information I
have been able to get so far.
The theme of the show is “The Heritage and Bounty of the Northern
Sacramento Valley” and your work should represent our valley’s many
agricultural assets, ie…crops, historic architecture, landscapes,
weather, etc.
Patrick Ranch Threshing Bee & Country Faire, June 7-8
The 7th Annual Country Faire featuring the 7th Annual Threshing Bee
will be held on June 7th and 8th, at the Patrick Ranch on the Midway,
located half way between Chico and Durham. Gates will be open
Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. This is a $5.00 per person
entrance fee. However, children 14 and under are Free when

While there will be no actual ticket given out, each person age 15
years and older will be charged $5.00 for admittance. All children
14years and younger will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult

COUNTRY FAIRE HIGHLIGHTS
Threshing Bee
The 7th Annual Threshing Bee is the main event at the Country Faire.
It is a combined effort of the Vintage Iron Club, California Draft
Horse and Mule Association and the Far West Heritage Association.
Easily the biggest draw of viewers because of all of the activity, it
will begin each day at 9am and run until 11am. Each morning, and at
2:30pm to 4:pm each afternoon. Tractors and the Horses will take
turns pulling the equipment that will do the mowing/binding/bundling
and loading. That will be followed by the Wheat threshing and
baling.
Since the horses will be available, there will also be demonstrations
of Horseshoeing, and people are encouraged to arrive early and watch
the horses being harnessed.
Also associated with the Threshing Bee will be the Horse and Tractor
Parade, which will be nariated to the viewing audience so you will
come away with knowledge of the types of horses at the show, and the
kinds of tractors and equipment that each uses.
Old Fashioned Country Faire

many activities such as Pioneer Crafts Interactive Exhibits, Antique
Transportation Exhibits, Old Time Youth Games, a Live Bee Beard

Here is the website for the Ranch: http://site.patrickranchmuseum.org/
Our display would be in a secure barn that is weather tight with
electrical available for lights etc. Still waiting for more
information but thought I would get this out to you. The link I was
given to their website was wrong so here is the correct one.

I'm told they had 4,000 visitors last year... that should give us some
great exposure and hopefully sales. I think this will be the largest
event we have been to so far. Should be interesting, what do you
think?
