What a neat place and such a friendly kind of guy that Paul Lundeen. Loved all the photo’s but my favorite was probably the B&W sign and the drawer full of old stamps. Thanks for sharing your fun :)

You would have loved this shop, Stacey. Just loved it. Your daughter, too, the graphic artist. Wondering if your Emily found a place in Rochester?

That reminds me of the other day when my eldest asked what we did about wedding gifts in “the olden days.” She and her husband-to-be were working on their wedding gift registry. I told her that I wrote up a list, per my mom’s request, and that is why Randy and I ended up with a zillion salt and pepper shakers and crockpots.

]]> Comment on Law & order in Rothsay by Audrey Kletscher Helbling http://mnprairieroots.com/2013/05/16/law-order-in-rothsay/#comment-16553 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:04:10 +0000 http://mnprairieroots.com/?p=18519#comment-16553 A working blacksmith shop–that is great. And wonderful that the Johnson family occasionally gives tours.

I have viewed the Rothsay Prairie Days Facebook page, but thanks for telling readers about this. Great idea to add a farm machinery show. How appropriate for the region.

Now that I hear your details about the grass fire on 94, I am even more thankful that we stopped in Rothsay so I could photograph the prairie chicken statue and your town. Had we kept trucking along the interstate, we would have driven right into the mess. I hope there were no injuries. I am grateful to your local resident who advised us to take the county roads.

The last time they provided “tours” and showed it off was at our community celebration last year. Prairie Days!

They are not scheduled to show it again this year however.

That is July 12-13 and will be a great time. We have a Rothsay Prairie Days facebook page that you can LIKE also.

This year we are adding a Farm Machinery Show instead of a Classic Car show and our city parade is always top notch!

I am glad you missed that fire on 94; ended up having a 7 car / 2 semi pile up.
