Dakota Cowboy-09.17.2023

Dakota Cowboy is presented by Dakota Community Bank and Trust. On the next episode, we will introduce you to 2 summer volunteers at The North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame and talk about the newly implemented program. Georgeann Weinhandl and her sister Carol Stoltz have great things to say about their time spent in Medora.

The Roughrider Rodeo Association Finals were held at the Healing Horse Ranch in Parshall, Sept 1-3. A family rodeo association that is full of rodeo events from young to veteran competitors was in full swing. ‘Trailer talk’ and ‘behind the chutes chats’ were all live at the finals, with contestants and your co-host, Tisa Peek of Dakota Horse Magazine.

Meanwhile, Wild Bill with The North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame chats with Joseph Fraser, an employee there for the summer. His thoughts about Historic Medora really through Bill for a loop and wait until your hear what Joseph says is the number one thing he will take away from his 2023 Medora experience!

Our North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame Inductee of the Week is Dean Meyer. Dean was born August 12, 1949, to Darrel and Geraldine (Jerry) Birdsall Meyer. He grew up on the family ranch in western Ward County near the little town of Berthold.

Dean grew up riding a stick horse and watching Casey Tibbs, Dean Armstrong, and the Teschers, and remembering that all he ever wanted to do was be a cowboy. Dean’s dream was realized in 1967, when his family purchased the Figure Four Ranch in Dunn and McKenzie Counties and Dean, along with his grandpa, Herb Birdsall, made the move to “cowboy country” where Dean’s cowboying days truly began. He was inducted into the Hall of Honorees in 2022 in the Rodeo Arena category. This segment is brought to you by Torgerson Auto Center.

And our Dakota Cowboy Student Rodeo Athlete of the Week is Eli Leppell of Keene, ND.
