It was fun for all ages today at the Birch Hills Threshing and Family Fun Day.

The 15th annual event, put on by the Birch Hills and District Historical Society, was based out of the Birch Hills Museum.

The event kicked off at 7:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and all the funds raised going to the museum roof project. A parade followed at 12 p.m. and the event wrapped up at 4 p.m.

There was lots of food and lots to see. Those in attendance had the opportunity to take part in rope making, town tours and children’s activities for the young ones.

Admission to the event was free. The museum is open to the public on Wednesdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
