Dakota Cowboy-11.05.2023

On "Dakota Cowboy," our host Bill takes us through the latest of rodeo news and western dreams. It's not all lassos and spurs though; there are some important dates to circle on your calendar. Bill's reminds everyone that you'd better hurry up; the deadline for the 2024 North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame (NDCHF) nominations is coming up quick on December 15th, 2023.

And for all you rodeo enthusiasts, the excitement's about to spill over. Grab your hats and mark those dates—December 8, 9, 15, and 16—when the first National Finals Rodeo (NFR) watch parties kick off. It's where the community gathers, eyes glued to screens, cheering on their favorite riders and ropers as they vie for the championship buckle.

But today's show has something specia, Tisa Peek chats with Chad Berger. He's not your average rancher; Chad's an award-winning Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Stock Contractor. That means he's the guy responsible for bringing the toughest, meanest bulls to the arena, ensuring every cowboy gets a ride that could turn into an eight-second dance with destiny.

Next up, the scene shifts as Bill settles in with 2023 Miss Rodeo North Dakota, Lindsay Miller. She's all poise and smiles, but don't let that fool you—she's as tough as they come, gearing up for the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. It's not just about looking good on a horse; it's about representing the rodeo way of life with knowledge, dignity, and a spark of western charm.

The honor roll calls at the Long X Ranch this time around, as they're inducted into the hallowed halls of the NDCHF. It's a testament to their legacy, their commitment to preserving the cowboy way for generations to come.

Finally, it's a tip of the hat to the younger crowd with our Student Rodeo Athlete of the Week, 16-year-old Teigen Earsley from Wilton, ND.

So kick back, tune in, and soak up the stories from "Dakota Cowboy," where the heartbeats of the western plains keep time with the drum of hooves and the dreams of those who live by the cowboy code.
