- Some video clips of our trip to WMSTR 2016 taken on Sunday.
This year is the 100th Anniversary of the year my great grandpa and his brothers, the Flom Brothers, bought a 1916 Minneapolis Steam Engine no 7700. They used it until 1930 when they replaced it with gas power. It was the thrill of my summer to get to ride on it in the parade and to even move the same gears my grandpa moved and to steer it for a short distance. Thank You so much to everyone who preserves our history and brings it back alive.
Equipment like this is why folks had more common sense back in the day. It sorted the fools out. Absolutely love old tractors!
Yep, they are amazing! Have you been to Rollag, if not, try to get there someday. It's really cool!
Never been to Rollag. Have been to pioneer days in Madison SD numerous times. Even got to run the steam carousel one year. Will never forget that!
Yeah, things like that are unforgettable. I got to drive (for a short distance) the steam engine that my great grandpa used in 1916. Unforgettable
I was there on Friday and Saturday! Wonderful show. Recommend it!
It is a great time!!
Random question John, do you have a brother named Jeff? I have a college friend by that name, lost contact with him several years ago.
I went there every day this year! Working there is hard work but it pays off!
Awesome! I hope to make it again next year. I had to miss it this year (2017)
My dad an I have a 1929 cat 60 down in butterfield, mn. Hope to make it up there sometime with him.
I love the steam shovels. I never saw them before but read about them in my reader in first or second grade.
They are pretty cool and every time I see one, I am a 7 year old reading Mike Mulligan
I am from Minnesota born in St. Cloud and raised in Shoreview till 1965. I remember my Dad taking the family to some place to visit relatives and on the farm there were all kinds of old steam powered tractors. I wish I could remember more. John Adrian, father Jack Adrian, Henry and Rose Adrian Grandparents.
If you get the chance you should check out the WMSTR. It is an experience you will never forget, brings back a lot of memories for anyone who spent time on a farm.
I am going to be in the reunion next year!!!
Very nice video !
Thanks! I wanted to go again this year and make a more focused video but didn't get there, next year.
for those of you that have not heard the 2020 show has been canceled
Thank you for sharing, really sad news, but I guess it's just part of whats going on all over.
@@christibrose5413 yea it is becoming an almost daily occurrence, reading that some event community celebrations, etc. have been cnancelled not only in mn but other states too
I have been to Rollag be for.
That is a beautiful piece of history. I'm in college right now studying neuroscience, but history will always remain one of my favorite subjects. What do you do for a living?
Thanks. I feel privileged that someone has saved a part of my family history. I work in Microbiology at a Hospital, and have a side job at Hobby Lobby. That's my fun place. Some of this video was shot by my husband who is a professional photographer. It was just my editing though, not him, he is much better at editing and creating video than I am. I am happy to claim the train part at the front, I love that shot.
Do you vlog ??
no, I just have a few videos from our cruises, our kids and our cats, mostly. I don't travel enough to vlog
Definitely start vlogging. What's holding you back??
Thanks for the encouragement. We watch several vloggers and it's fun and gets to be almost like watching a tv show, only better. I have enjoyed putting videos on and when one gets a lot of views its fun to think of other people enjoying something you created. I have one that has over 10k views, cruise ship food, even I enjoy watching it over and over.
What is that at 6:17?And that small one at 9:42?and 26:23, Please,Thanck you.
I don't know much about them, but maybe someone who sees your comment will respond. Sorry it took so long for me to approve the comment.
No Problem.
I went there on Monday (2017)
I didn't make it this year, I sure wanted to though. Next Year!
