The Old Threshers Reunion has many young ladies strolling the grounds dressed in summer finery of
the late 1800's. These young ladies are participants in our Miss Sweet 16 Contest. These young ladies
serve as the official hostesses of the Reunion and help things move along smoothly by guiding guests and
answering questions. The contestants are judged on hospitality and volunteerism and can be seen in the
Harvest Parade, riding a ground train, at the Carousel, at souvenir stands and at headquarters. If you
are interested in learning more about the Miss Sweet 16 Contest during the Reunion, please contact Midwest
