The Polk County Historical Society received a 135-year-old antique reed organ donated by Aaron and Liz Rongen of Fertile, which the Society quickly restored thanks to members John Vraa and Jerry Wentzel. To celebrate the donation and restoration of the organ, the Society invited George French to perform a concert on the restored organ on Thursday, September 15, at the Polk County Museum in Crookston. French was also joined by Jim Kent, who sang multiple songs with French accompanying him.
Pictures of the organ and all of the people who helped restore it and make the donation and concert possible can be seen below-
