Forest City Threshers Pork Chop Dinner

The Forest City Threshers Pork Chop Dinner is coming up this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Threshers Dining Hall. The menu includes grilled pork chops, au gratin potatoes, beans, coleslaw, dinner rolls and strawberry shortcake.

Butch Schulte says they are raising funds to make improvements to the dining hall such as a new coat of paint inside and improvements to the flooring in the kitchen and restrooms. He says they are going to have Craig Kimmerle play the piano during the dinner.

Schulte says Fieldgate is donating milk and butter for Sunday’s dinner and Ag Country Farm Credit Services is donating the plates, napkins and cups. He says the Threshers are looking forward to their annual show the 3rd weekend in August in which the featured equipment will be Oliver Hart Parr.

Dave Jutz says the Threshers will host a tractor pull on May 24th. He says they’ve been busy over the winter months getting things ready for their August show and there’s a new building.

Jutz says the cost for Sunday’s Grilled Pork Chop Dinner is $15, with a 2nd pork chop available for an additional $5; $8 for children 5-to-12; and free for children 4 and under. He says it’s dine-in or take-out, with gluten-free options available, and the Threshers Building is just south of Forest City – off of Highway 24 – look for the threshers parked near the highway, and the signs.
