📸 THROWBACK THURSDAY: FROM THE NORSEMEN ARCHIVES 🔴⚫
We're kicking things off with a good one…
No smartphones.
No group texts.
No Snapchat.
A room full of Norsemen…so we have a few questions:
📅 What year do you think this was?
🤔 And most importantly…does anyone remember what was actually happening here?
👀 Bonus points if you recognize anyone!?
Every Thursday, we'll be digging into the Roland-Story archives to bring back the people, places, traditions and moments that helped make us who we are today.
Anchored in History. Forged for the Future.
