BUTTERFIELD WEATHER

2nd weekend in July

The Butterfield Summer Sizzler was promoted as a day for the community. A day for the Butterfield Community Club Auxiliary to have their Flea Market and 1st Lutheran Church to have their ice cream social and as a day for families and people of all ages. The weekend also consists of a slow-pitch softball tournament. There is music at Buckshots Bar and Grill on Friday and Saturday night. All events take place out at the beautiful Voss Park located just northwest of Butterfield, unless otherwise noted.

3rd full weekend of August.

The BTA and the Threshing Bee started in 1966/67, with the Threshing Bee beginning first. After the event which caused over a thousand people to show up (and at that time, it was just a one-day show) the guys then decided to form a committee to see about putting on a show annually. Almost forty years later (in 2006), the show is still going strong. The committee includes nine men who each are responsible for different areas of the show and the grounds. Please click HERE (not yet linked, sorry) to see a history of the bee as told in the souvenir paper that the Observer/Advocate prints yearly for those attending the bee.

Many of the historic buildings found on the park grounds have local historical significance and are filled with genuine artifacts from the pioneering past. Take a step back in time to the days of the pioneers - when the land lay untamed and the promise of a new life in a new country thrilled the hearts of the European immigrants to this area. buildings include a log cabin, general store, blacksmith shop, the original First Presbyterian Church, Tuberg Mill and many more.
