Medora Boot with Kim Colbert and Olivia Titcomb, DSU Ag Dept with Dr. Chip Poland, and 2017 NDCHF Hall of Honorees inductee The White Earth Valley Saddle Club and You
Description
Chip Poland is the chairman of the ag department at Dickinson State University. He joins us today to chat about his involvement in the rodeo team and the challenges he faces grooming young minds for a career in agriculture. We were surprised to learn where he was born and raised, and the viewers will also be.
Then it's off to Medora Boot and Western Wear as we sit down with owner Kim Colbert who gives us some insight into her experience in retail in Historic Medora, her store, and its future. Olivia Titcomb also joins us and talks about the people she meets working at Medora Boot and her involvement with The Medora Musical.
Finally, our featured NDCHF Hall of Honorees inductee of the week is a 2017 inductee in the category of Special Achievement, The White Earth Valley Saddle Club. We'll go back to the induction ceremony and hear more about the rodeo in White Earth and the people who insist on preserving the long-storied history of their facility and event.
