| Strum Steam Engine Days Giant Tricycle (Built in Strum and was one of a number of creative "toys" used to advertise the annual Celebration in Strum). Connie Johnstad of Strum is driving this giant Steam Engine Days tricycle. Connie has his trumpet with him. Just behind him, also with a cornet, is Greg Gullicksrud. Next to him but hidden is in all likelihood, Tony Berge. Connie used to take these two boys with him because they both played the cornet in high school band and Connie and the cornet players would play a brass fanfare down whatever parade route they were in.
