Eight gallons of cream were converted to homemade ice cream. There were demonstrations of rosemaling, quilt-making, sausage stuffing, rope making, cream separating, butter churning and old-time clothes washing. Eight thousand feet of baling twine was wound into rope by the rope-making crew. Forty-eight tractors participated in the antique tractor pull again done in “McLaen’s Meadow” on the west edge of town.
A Norwegian dance band entertained with a dance on Saturday night and concerts Sunday afternoon. The band members were Tommy Johansen, Ivar Thoresen, Frank Lonberg and Wenke Carlson from Oslo, Norway. They were accompanied by Rolf Johnsrud and Rita Bjerke, also of Oslo.
The pictures in the post are just a sampling of what is available to view. There are notebooks on each year along with news and photographs to browse. The plan is to have the notebooks/albums out for viewing during this coming year’s events. The exact location of these materials will be determined by October 5th.
