Nauvoo On The Road

We have a thing in Nauvoo called Nauvoo On The Road.  It's a large trailer filled with a bunch of awnings and pioneer things that we take to various festivals within a two or three hour radius.  They have the Corn Festival, the Watermelon Festival, a million Harvest Festivals and lots of tractors everywhere.  The trailer has pioneer games for the kids and a rope making machine.  The first time we went we made about 70 ropes for kids.  Actually, we helped the kids use the machine to make ropes. There is also a Family History display and we can gather info from guests and help them get started on their family history. Here's some pictures from our NOTR experiences.

 The mid-west folks are REALLY into tractors.  At the "Thresher Days" festival I bet there were 1,000 tractors there.

 This "speeder" was on a track about a mile long with a trestle and crossing.  Very cool.

Making rope with Elder Christensen, the head NOTR missionary.  I bet I've made over 500 ropes so far.
