Rock River Thresheree - 48th Annual Reunion (2004)




In 2004, we erected our Rock River Machine Works building. During the show, a television carmeraman had to run for his life after an announcement of "free potatoes" caused a stampede of spectators.

Rumely was our featured tractor. Sue Henning was our Reunion Queen. Our 2004 Souvenir Album was dedicated to Syl Henry.
