Rock River Thresheree - 47th Annual Reunion (2003)




In 2003, the Wisconsin Historical Steam Engine Association held its first meeting in our pavillion. Our Worthing diesel engine ran for the first time.

John Deere was our featured tractor and engine. Dawn Hendrickson was our Reunion Queen. Our 2003 Souvenir Album was dedicated to Marvin Rustad.
