Thursday, the 4th, Bob decided we should go
to the Rollag Steam Threshers Reunion. So,
I made reservations at a motel in Fargo
where we stayed Friday night. The next day,
we drove to Rollag, Minnesota, where this year's
focus was on Steiger farm tractors. After waiting
in line to get into a parking lot, we noticed
the lady on horseback directing traffic!
Next, we hopped on a shuttle to get to the grounds.
A father and two sons started building the
tractors in their barn!
A Steiger green pickup traditionally led
the tractors in the parade. This one was
painted by a friend of Jimmy's.
After the parade, we took a train ride
around the 300 acre grounds. The place
is like a small village with shops, all
kinds of demonstrations of how things
worked, a steam-powered merry-go-round,
food, ice cream, and fry bread, and,
of course hundreds of tractors.
