Cheers to You This Labor Day Weekend


(9/1/2011)

First 1975 Arctic Cat rolls off the assembly line

Cheers to everyone observing Labor Day weekend.

After this weekend, Summer is over (in my view, at least). I'd like a nice, productive autumn and then an early, gnarly winter.

By the way, the above photo of the first 1975 Arctic Cat (a Panther) to roll off the assembly line, appears in the "50 Years of the Cat" book.

I love this photo! Lots of smiles and pride.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Yup I was there in "75". They closed the distribtorship in Fargo and we moved to TRF and were located in the offices next to the salvage dept. I think Amey and John Roland were running that dept. John and Neal are the oweners of Northern Crankshaft Repair. Those were the days :)

Was it you Auggie who came up with the saying "F-um and feed um fish"? I went with you, Eide, Reno, Del, Beito, and Ron to the shows at the theater with the Mad Dog 20-20.

My last name is Krogstad. Now if you are the real Augg the Dog, you will know who I am.

No that wasn't me but sometimes it does apply. You know Dick your name sounds familer but for some reason I just can't place you. Sorry about that.
