Saturday at 1 p.m.

old Goessel State Bank building

If you’re out and about on Saturday and in the Goessel area looking for something to do, stop by the Mennonite Heritage Museum – it’s Threshing Days.

Inside the old Goessel State Bank on the museum grounds (which is air-conditioned, I am told), I will be reading from Flyover People: Life on the Ground in a Rectangular State at 1 p.m. and signing books afterwards. at 2:30, another Kansas writer, Robert Collins of Andover, will give a presentation about Ghost Railroads in Kansas.

Here’s a list of the day’s events at the museum – including the Low German meal at the Goessel Elementary School.

And here’s a list of the threshing/farming events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
