Howdy neighbor, happy harvest, may your forty acres soon be fields of clover

There’s this place in town called Heritage Park. It’s a “historical village” with old buildings, steam engines and tractors, and it preserves old-fashioned farming processes (threshing grain, baling hay, making ice cream) with demonstrations and exhibits. It wasn’t officially open, but we were there at the old Norwegian Lutheran church (moved in from the country) for a potluck dinner with the local Sons of Norway. The kids got to venture out a bit and play. The park will be open this week, so we’ll try to get there. The kids want to see the train. I hope there’s a train. We saw tracks, anyway.

Gorgeous pix (and cutest kids!) – we have a similar festival next weekend, and can’t wait for all the other fall fun. See, fall is fun – hope it lasts a long time and winter is easy on you this year!

Enjoyed the pictures and the history lesson. Hope you get there when it is open.
