I took a few candid shots of Tom the Tie man before he realized that I was taking pictures of him.

Then he began stopping and posing for me to make sure that I got them.

If it clashes; that is all the better

 Don't worry, Tom's wife is dancing with this woman's husband. Polka dancing is a fun time.

Tom's longest tie

He explained to me that his wife began making him specialty, oversized ties.  These ties are not tight and up to the neck like the standard tie.  They are attached by an elastic band.  As he wore the ties at various polka parties other people began making him ties.  Friday, August 9th,  Tom brought 30 ties.  I only got pictures of 14 of them.  He shared with me that he tries hard to make sure most of his ties clash with his outfit.  But that is still many more pictures than I normally share.

Thomas and Bonnie Roth (pronounced rot with a silent h) are from Herington, Kansas.  Watch for them on the Mollie B Polka Party on RFD TV and Family Net.

Piles of ties
He made sure that we were aware that he only wears the ties six days a week.  He doesn't wear them on Sunday, after all God tells us that the seventh day is a day of rest and even his ties should have a day of rest.  Bonnie said on the more practical side that he wears his white shirts on Sunday's and have you ever tried to keep elastic from yellowing?
