A fifty percent deposit is required when signing the contract. There is also a mileage charge for weddings over 35 miles from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

VPS recently collaborated with students in the Advanced Video Production Class at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant to create short videos, accessed by QR codes on a smart for phone or tablet, for Midwest Old Threshers to use in their museum buildings.
VPS provided all of the footage for the project. Students then used the footage to create the video clips. VPS has been filming videos for sale at Old Threshers since 1986. That's a lot of footage!
QR codes will be placed on large signs in various locations throughout the museum buildings. Once scanned, visitors can watch machinery in action. For example, the QR code at the JI Case 11o steam engine takes the viewer to a video of the engine steaming along at the Old Threshers Reunion and also gives additional factual information about it.
