We just got back from the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion in Rollag, MN. It takes place every year on the Labor Day weekend. Got back right before the rains hit. Wasn't supposed to rain today but what they say about the weather around here is...if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
Anyway, while we were there it was sunny with very little wind. We usually go on the Labor Day Monday, but this year we went earlier, and I am really glad we did. It's the first time I got to see the big steam shovels operate. It was really cool to see!

Sorry for taking up so much room on this thread, pictures don't do them justice either. We were walking down the parade lineup and this guy pulled up.

There was a guy and his wife on an army jeep with a 50 cal cannon on the back. Missed my chance for a pic of him.
Then there was the train

Okay. I'm done. I suppose I should have posted a thread, sorry. But that's what we did this afternoon before the torrential rains hit. The husband wants to have a fire tonight, but the wood is pretty wet. We'll see...
