Re: Rollag
Was good to see you too! Just figured there would be few more considering the numbers.
Just in case Rudy checks in, we're missing you!

Re: Rollag
Pardon my ignorance, but to this wool producer and handcraft supplier, a rollag is a lightly carded roll of fibre ready to be spun into yarn. Obviously, yours is something different!

Re: Rollag
For those that don't know, Rollag is a thrashing show in northern Minnesota, about 40 miles east of Fargo. One of the largest in the states.

Up until the late 30's , it was how you harvested your crop. Model T era.

Re: Rollag
Doubtless, Rollag was named after the Norwegian village of the same name. The steam show started there in 1954, and has been quite the deal every Labor Day weekend ever since! Looks great, wish I could go.
Thanks Allan, for expanding my vocabulary of obscure terms pertaining to wool ! Rolag (one "L") has its roots in Gaelic, means "little roll". What's this got to do with Model Ts ?? Well, I have posted a couple of period photos of TTs loaded with wool sacks

Re: Rollag
Rollag (pronounced roll-log) is awfully cool. Hugantic if you will. Model T's are frequent. Mine too at one time.
Thank you Scott. That means the world to me. Some of our friends a bit south tend to think thrashing.
Back in the day I could've given a good thrashing to someone Steve.
Dallas, you had bundles in your truck? Cool!
Jeff, make plans if you'd like to see Rollag. Ride the train, wander up the hill thru the woods and be amazed.
Next year Kerosene Annie should be at the Rumely show. Perhaps running? It's all related to T's due to the time frame.
Rollag is pretty big. Not a Russian gulag.
On my bucket list is the Florida Flywheelers show down your way. Lots of neat things and perhaps a model T or six.
Allan, would you tell us how you pronounce your roll of wool Rolag?
Rudy, I'd like to meet you sometime to chat.
Rich, you nailed it!
