Help us Grow the Show!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Each summer, the Tri-State Antique Engine and Threshers Association brings history to life through the annual Thresher Show – a cherished tradition that educates, entertains, and preserves the rich agricultural heritage of our region. Thanks to your continued support, we’ve been able to maintain and improve the showgrounds, upgrade equipment, and create a welcoming experience for all generations.
This year, we invite you to help us Grow the Show by taking part in a special matching donation opportunity during the 72nd Tri-State Antique Engine and Threshers Association Thresher Show, July 31–August 2.
Thanks to a generous commitment from the Bird City Century II Development Foundation, all donations made during these dates – up to the first $25,000 – will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Every dollar raised will directly support critical needs such as grounds improvements, operational costs, facility upgrades, and special projects that help us grow and enhance the Thresher Show experience.
Your support during the show is essential. A donation during this time goes twice as far, allowing us to tackle necessary projects and keep the show running smoothly – not just this year, but well into the future. Whether it’s your first time attending or a family tradition, your contribution helps ensure the Thresher Show remains a treasured event for years to come.
We encourage you to stop by during the show and take advantage of this matching opportunity. Together, we can continue to Grow the Show and preserve the legacy of rural life, innovation, and community.
Looking ahead, there will also be another giving opportunity during Bird City’s Match Day in December – where donations will go toward growing our endowment to help ensure the long-term sustainability of the Thresher Show.
To learn more, please visit us at the showgrounds during the show in Building #2. To donate now, please click the donate now button below, or mail a check to Tri-State Antique Engine & Threshers Association, P.O. Box 9, Bird City, KS 67731.
Thank you for being an essential part of our Thresher Show family.
With gratitude,
The Board of Directors
Tri-State Antique Engine and Threshers Association
