Mrs. Glessing’s second grade class visited yesterday on a field trip!  First they went to a museum, then to McDonald’s and last to John Deere.  One of the girls in the class told me the days field trip was for their good behavior throughout the school year.   First, we gave them a tour around the building through our showroom, meeting room, break room, through the parts department and lastly the shop.  Since it was such a beautiful day we took the the kids two by two for a little ride around the building in a Big 9530 4WD John Deere Tractor.  Most of the kids had never rode in a tractor before.  Finally, I handed out a goodie bag as they left.   I think a good time was had by all, at least I know I had a lot of fun!!

Howard Lake Midwest Machinery Co.

The Alexandria Midwest Machinery also had some “little” visitors from the Osakis Preschool classes, 41 in all.  We gave them all rides in a 7200R tractor, they colored and played with some sandbox toys, with wheat instead of sand!  They got a tour of our store and a lesson on lawn mower safety from our mechanic, Greg.  They all got a treat bag to take home also.  I always enjoy when kids come to visit, they get so excited to ride in a tractor.

Plow Day with Unstyled John Deere’s

On March 31st near Sauk Centre, MN we had a plow day featuring John Deere unstyled tractors.   Because this had never been attempted, attendance was a question.  As it turned out, there was great attendance, 13 unstyled “A” tractors, 4 unstyled “G” tractors and one Spoker “D”.  The ages of the drivers of those tractors ranged from 9 to 87!  A fun time was had by all, 54 acres were plowed by day’s end.

One person in attendance at the Plow Day made a video and placed it on U-tube, Feel free to watch, It is GREAT!

Ingredients:

1 lb. Hamburger

5 cups pasta cooked

1-30 oz jar of Spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese.

Directions:

Brown and drain hamburger.  Cook pasta according to package directions, rinse and drain.  Combine hamburger with pasta, spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese.  Spoon into 13×9″ baking dish.  Top with mozzarella cheese.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.  Serves 8

If you do not have such a picky man like myself you could add mushrooms, onions, green peppers or zucchini.  Peperoni would be good in it too.  A few cloves of garlic would give it more flavor and garlic is suppose to be really good for you.  Or you can just make it plain like me.
