The RCWA toymakers set up in the Memorial Building at the Sturgis Threshing Bee on August 17, 2024, at 8:30 am. The temperature was in the low 60's at the start of the day with gusty winds from the north. It warmed up to 85 degrees by 4 pm.
We brought tractors and vans for kids to color and then build into racing vehicles by adding wheels. We brought tractors cut from redwood, pine, and cedar, pre-drilled for wheels. Additionally, we brought a box of vans. Kids were given a choice of tractors or vans. As it turns out, we gave away 57+3 = 60 tractors and 38 vans, for a total of 98 toys. Every one of them got tested on our 8' race track! We gave out our last toys a little before 4 pm, before we packed up and traveled home.
