When the rain died down, it was time to do some threshing. The first
threshing demonstration of this year’s Reunion went off without a hitch as the
men climbed atop the large pile of grain and the threshing machine started
with no problems. With dozens of patrons waiting to see some threshing, it
was easy to see that this demonstration is one of the Reunion’s main
attractions. After adding a second stand of bleachers to the threshing area,
organizers saw both stands full for nearly every threshing demonstration.

The Jodi King Freedom Concert at
Huron Chapel on Saturday, Aug. 30
was fantastic. This was in co-
operation with IJM (International
Justice Mission) and proceeds will
be used to liberate children in India
who have been sold into slavery.
The youth at Huron Chapel raised
over $600 for IJM from concert
proceeds and now have a total of
$1,950 which is almost enough to
free four children from slavery in
India. They just need another
$50.
Knox United was back to regular
service time for Sept. 7.
Huron Chapel welcomed the
worship team back after their
summer break. Sunday evening
services have begun again.
Auburn children’s choir will be
