Trego
Liner notes
A lively polka tune celebrating Trego, Wisconsin, where the Namekagon River flows and the old State Bank building still stands on Oakhill Road. The song tells of the town's history as a bustling hub with potato warehouses and a feed mill, now a quiet crossroads at US Route 53. The upbeat accordion and fiddle capture the spirit of the Northwoods and the resilience of this small Washburn County community.
