2022 Dufur Threshing Bee

After four years as Vintage Dufur Days and two years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dufur Threshing Bee made its official return Aug. 13.

Though the two events are very similar, there is one significant change: The Threshing Bee features horse-powered wheat harvest demonstrations, where Vintage Dufur Days showed harvesting of wheat with tractors and other equipment from the 1950s and earlier.
