The RCWA toymakers set up camp
in the Memorial Building at the Sturgis Threshing Bee on August 21, 2021 at
8:30 am. The temperature was beautiful
in the low 60’s at the start of the day.
We enjoyed ice tea and cookies later in the day.

We brought tractors and vans for kids to color and
then build into racing vehicles by adding wheels. We brought 62 tractors cut from redwood and
cedar, pre-drilled for wheels. Additionally,
we brought a box of vans (75). Kids were
given a choice of tractors or vans. As
it turns out, we gave away 62 tractors, and 75 vans, for a total of 137
toys. We ran out of tractors (and kids)
a little before 4 pm, so we loaded up and headed out.
