Hastings is only 18 miles south and lots of hotels too. Dannabrog, Roger Welsh’s hometown is 30 miles northwest. Everyone should find Worms If you are coming from the south, Hutchinson Kansas has an underground salt mine museum. From the north, the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD. West, stop in North Platte and take in the Golden Spike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Doctor Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My BIL has the bar set up and stocked in Grand Island. 😃 South Dakota will be revealing the No Till Planter on the Super M LP to the world. It will be donated to the National in a ceremony during RPRU 2023. I will post more info on where it will be located and when the ceremony will be held when known.

We found a Bristo bar in Grand Island that had the best food around, as long as you weren’t interested in steak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWRB Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Since you're asking in January, the answer is yes. However, the last three RPRU's have seen something come up that got in my way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH Forever Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I should probably bring my fast hitch roll over plow that I bought north of Kearney, kind of a homecoming. I have a few other trips planned this summer so unfortunately I don’t think I’ll have the time or money to go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm planning on making the trip. Where's the best place to make reservations around Grand Island? I assume everything in town is booked already. I assume they will offer a tour of the combine plant? Worked on many a Flagship combine but never toured the plant where they are made.

farmalldr Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Wife and I are planning to be there with an RV. Hoping for a RV space on site. This will be our third Roundup. We toured the combine plant a few years ago. If you have not, try to, it is a great tour. Hope to see you all then. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to be there Friday. Only 3 hours or so from the house. Might spend Friday night up there. Toured it in college. Its pretty cool.

West, stop in North Platte and take in the Golden Spike. Roger died this fall. He had an auction and sold his tractors a few years ago. He donated his land to the Pawanee Indians I do believe. His place is just east of town just before the curve, south side. Hastings has a museum too. Golden Spike is pretty awesome. The night crawler bar in Worms is kinda neat. There are other towns very close by with lodging if your willing to drive bit. St. Paul, Aurora, Kearney, Central City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 IDK if anyone can contact the Howard County Ag society (St. Paul NE 16 miles) or not, but they rent out the fair grounds for camping during big events like Husker Harvest days and state fair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Welsh's donation of land did not set well with the locals but not sure how they feel now. Never did know how much land it was but can't think it was too much.

IHhogfarmer Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yes, I plan on attending! This will be my first RPRU and is the closest one for me. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you. G I is a neat place. We go there for a livestock show in September. I was also there in October 2017 with FFA going to National Convention and we toured the CaseIH plant.
