Old-time harvest bee opens fair week

Tom Hennigar from St. John checked out the Red River stationary thresher, a key piece of equipment for the bee.

Horses and vintage machines again drew fans from all around the Palouse for the Labor Day Threshing Bee which launched the Palouse Empire Fair week at Mockonema. (See more Threshing Bee Photos in the weekly paper section, page 10A)
