Special Notes -
 
Need a Ride? - One great service provided year-after-year at the Butterfield Threshing Bee that both young and old have come to expect and appreciate is the "People-Mover" transportation provided from the parking lot to the Bee gate.  People attending the Bee can park their vehicle and wait for the red wooden wagon to round the bend to pick them up to transport them to the park entrance or visa versa when it's time to head home.  Children enjoy just going for rides around the lot. 
 
Camping - The Voss Park campground is conveniently located adjacent to the park ground and all the action at the Bee.  The prices are kind to your purse.  You can park your RV or camper for $12, without electricity, $14 with electricity or $15 for full hook-up.  As usual, the custom is "first come, first served" so don't wait too long to pull in to get the camping spot you want.  Joyce Peek, caretaker of Voss Park, always come at the start of the summer and lives in a trailer on the campground during the summer months.  In addition to having a wealth of information on just about anything regarding the Bee, Joyce also helps folks get registered for their campsite.
 
Information Booth - If at any time during your stay at the Butterfield Steam and Gas Engine Show you need assistance or information the people at the Information booth will be happy to help you.  The information booth is located at the east end of Engine House No. 1.  Threshing Bee T-shirts, sweatshirts and caps are for sale here, along with a collector crock.
 
Reunion Square - The Bee also provides an opportunity for Butterfield-Odin alumni, current and former faculty to meet at Reunion Square, located in the southeast corner of the grounds.  By signing in on the year of graduation, usually several hundred alumni visitors can be traced.  Chances are good to excellent that you'll meet persons you haven't seen for ages.
