North Dakota Rolfsruds heading to metrodome

Will cheer Bison against Gophers Saturday

A large contingent of North Dakota Rolfsruds will converge on the Minneapolis metrodome Saturday to support the NDSU Bison, a fine squad with a good chance of trapping the hapless Gophers. The Gophers barely escaped last year.

Cousin Harold Rolfsrud called today from the farmhouse in Keene, NoDak, to say that he and Marilyn, along with sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren have tickets for the big event.

They'll stay Friday and Saturday night in downtown Minneapolis.

Sunday morning, Kathleen and Stan hope to join them for breakfast -- perhaps in Shakopee -- and then a side trip to Red Wing, where our cousin, Larry Veeder, is recovering from a heart attack.

It's I-94 all the way from North Dakota, so Harold and Marilyn hope to visit Mom at Clearwater Suites and the Cleve Slettos as they come through Alexandria on Friday.

Farm report, just in: Harvest is done, not enough rain and too much heat, but prices were good. Harold extended birthday greetings to ex-farmhand Steve Rolfsrud.
