"12th annual KICD Antique Tractor Ride... based out of Estherville, with the first leg going northwest of town to Petersburg then west to Spirit Lake and back to Estherville. Saturday's jaunt goes northerly to Ceylon then around area lakes and back to Estherville."


The Blasses have gone on a number of tractor rides and shows, including the one at Prairie Village in Madison, S.D. and at the Amana Colonies where they go every Father's Day.
Randy is national secretary of the Minneapolis-Moline Collector's Club, a 900-member organization.
He said the Minneapolis, Moline Tractor and Twin City Tractor companies combined in 1929. The Minneapolis-Moline was made in Minneapolis until 1971 when the company was bought out. The parts from Moline and Oliver tractors then went into making White tractors which later became part of Agco.

Memorabilia Auction: Larry Hagman Raises $500,000 - Starpulse.com

Larry Hagman Raises $500,000 At Memorabilia Auction - Starpulse.com:
"Dallas [I Dream of Jeannie] legend Larry Hagman raised more than $500,000 after auctioning off a portion of his memorabilia collection on Saturday. The TV villain, famed for his portrayal of sleazy oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, sold off a number of personal valuables collected over the years at Julien's Auctions in California.

Hagman, who opened the sale in style by riding through the streets of Beverly Hills on horseback, was on hand to describe the items going under the hammer for bidders, according to the Associated Press. The best-selling lot was a silver saddle, which fetched a staggering $80,000, while a portrait of his late Dallas co-star Jim Davis went for more than $38,000.

A replica bottle from I Dream Of Jeannie, the show that gave Hagman his big break, sold for more than $10,000 and a pair of pistols brought in more than $4,000."
