The 30-90 Avery was originally sold to Sand hills Kansas/Nebraska it was too heavy for the soil there

​
Vision
In 1997 Marv Rodenberg saw it was up for sale and called the board to go out and look at it so Jim Rodenberg and Bob Dewy made the trip out to Michigan to look at it
they brought information back to the club and the club made the decision to purchase it, so the club filed for a Blandin Grant and got Donations to get it from Michigan, Figgins Trucking donated their truck time and Fuel to go pick it up for the club and it came home to northern Minnesota were it resides to this day
In 2016 the club had to Re-flue the boiler as it was leaking and we do our best to keep the history Alive,
