Help Old Threshers welcome guests for 75th Reunion

As excitement builds for the 2025 Midwest Old Threshers Reunion, organizers are reaching out to local residents for help in welcoming the thousands of guests expected during this milestone year. The In-Home Stay Program, which pairs Reunion visitors with homeowners in the Mt. Pleasant area, is in need of additional guest-friendly homes, particularly those with minimal steps or single-level layouts.

“With the current list of homes filling up, we’re seeing more and more visitors reaching out in search of places to stay,” said Grant Davidson, Public Relations & Marketing Coordinator for Midwest Old Threshers. “This program not only offers guests a welcoming place to stay — it also builds meaningful connections between our visitors and the Mt. Pleasant community.”

The 2025 Reunion will take place Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, as Midwest Old Threshers is Celebrating 75 Years of tradition, history, and family fun. A record attendance is anticipated for the five-day event.

Residents with homes that are easy to navigate, such as those without stairs or with accessible entrances, are especially encouraged to consider participating.

To learn more or to join the program, please contact Lori Shoultz at (309) 791-7689.

By opening their homes, community members play a vital role in making this historic celebration a warm and memorable experience for all.
