| I would like to thank everyone who attend the Orange Spectacular last weekend from near and far, we had 31 D-21's which was the featured tractor and a dealer from Mountain Lake, MN brought a new S-96 centennial addition Gleaner combine to have on display. Our crowd's on Friday and Saturday were the largest they have ever been. Again thank you all for attending and driving many miles to exhibit tractors and implements. It was great to see many of you again and in the future I hope to have more time to visit with you all, now it is on to Albert City IA for the Gathering of the Orange. Lets see if we can make Charlie Widlunds wish for 75 WD-45's come true. |

Darrel, I wasn't going to bring a tractor to Albert City but if Charlie NEEDS 75 WD 45's, I just may. Any chance of getting to plow a little if I bring it? |

What day are they going to do the head count on the 45's? I'll only be there one day but could be there Friday or Saturday. |

Ok, talked to Charlie last night. Since I'm going for one day was Friday or Saturday better? He said either would work. I'm starting to think if I can get a late motel reservation I may go for both days. Pretty sure there will be enough to see/do that one day will be busy! |
