Ted, Nice to see Butterfield mentioned. That was my first Mn. Show in '69
and always enjoyed running Lloyd's engines there. You and Beth have it
right. 7/8 of the ATVs have no business on show grounds. Rollag is really
bad that way. They keep saying they will clamp down on 16 year old kids
running around at high speed and familys using them for transportation when
we already have people movers but nothing ever seems to come of it. It will
probably take a bad accident to get any action. However, I will say that
there are times I wish I had one when I have to walk all the way around
Gunderson Pond to pick up my fiddle after dinner! Will you be up for the
Case Expo this year?
