17th annual Threshing Days held this holiday weekend at new site Staff Report The News Standard
though due to the park’s closure in January, organizers had to quickly find a new venue, which was decided to be the fairgrounds. Last year, Pike said more than 200 tractors and an estimated 5,000 visitors attended the event, which is advertised in farm and ranch magazines across the country. Threshing Days is usually held the second weekend in July, though last year it was held over the Fourth of July weekend, and with its large crowds and overall overwhelming success, the holiday weekend was chosen again to be the date. Festivities begin at 9 a.m. today, Saturday and Sunday and continue throughout the day. A non-denominational church service will be held Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
Tractors of all shapes of sizes, as well as old-fashioned farming equipment, homemade crafts, tractor versatility courses, a flea market and other kinds of home-spun, traditional country fun will merge together this weekend at the Meade County Fairgrounds. The Lincoln Trail Antique Power Club will host its 17th Annual Threshing Days and Antique Power of the Past Machinery Show beginning today and continuing through Sunday. The event is organized locally by club president and Payneville resident Edd Pike and co-coordinator and Guston resident Alan Thomas. Typically Threshing Days is held at Otter Creek Park,

Meade County Breast Coalition members Fay Mattingly, Ruthie Fackler, Mildred Mattingly, Jettie Burnett and Bev Morrison participated in the Cancer Survivor Celebration in the Great Hall at My Old Kentucky Home State Park on Sunday, June 28. Cancer patients, survivors, their families, friends and health care professionals gathered to demonstrate that vibrant life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. A special photo exhibit, “The Faces of Cancer,� was unveiled featuring approximately 15 survivors of various kinds of cancer from Meade, Hardin, Nelson, Breckinridge, LaRue, Marion, Washington and Grayson counties. The members decided to make a weekend of it by leaving a day earlier and touring Lincoln’s birthplace during the day on Saturday and going to the Steven Foster musical on Saturday night. On Sunday, members enjoyed music, refreshments, speakers, door prizes, free cancer survival kits and cancer resource booth exhibits. Their weekend culminated with a tour of My Old Kentucky Home. One of the survivors featured in “The Faces of Cancer� photo exhibit was Breast Cancer Coalition president, Fay Mattingly. Beside Fay’s picture is her information: Fay Ellen Dowell Mattingly, Meade

County; age at diagnosis 49; type of cancer; invasive lobular carcinoma; and her heartfelt words, “April 30, 2008, I celebrated my seven-year anniversary of being cancer free. Some people ask me if I worry about getting cancer again. My answer to that is ‘If I get cancer again, I will have plenty of time to worry about it then. I don’t have
time to be sick or worry about things that may never happen. Life is such a blessing and I am going to live it that way. I have three beautiful grandchildren to spoil. I love every minute of life and I have decided that if I wake up in the morning, it’s a good day.’� Fay is an American Cancer “Reach to Recovery�
