Rutland’s sixth annual Uffda Day was held on Sunday, October 7, 1990, with a large crowd attendance. A new attraction this year was the car show. Thirty-nine vehicles were on display including antiques, street rods and restored classics. Two awards for given: (1) for the longest distance that went to Wallace Nelson from East Grand Forks and (2) the People’s Choice Award given to Richard Engwicht of Oakes (no information was located on what make and model the vehicles were that year).

Pioneer skills demonstrated were tatting, bobbin lace, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, hardanger, spinning, counted cross-stitch, cream separating, butter churning, sausage making, clothes washing, gas engines, corn shelling, rope making and homemade ice cream. Fresh lefse was rolled out at the senior center and fed numerous visitors who wanted to try the Norwegian taste treats.

There were ten ethnic foods prepared for everyone to enjoy together with a buffet meal. A horse farming demonstration, antique farm machinery display, quilt display and horse drawn rides were enjoyed by young and old. About 40 exhibitors and crafters displayed their items.

A special feature throughout the day was entertainment by musicians and square dancers. The Pioneer House, furnished to represent the early 1900s, was also a new attraction.
