As you know I was raised in Elgin and my family still lives there, so when I heard that local farmer Clarence Laub III was hoping to grow hemp it got my attention.
It was July 4th 1978, I was only 7 years old but it is the one 4th of July that I will never forget! It was the day that an F4 tornado hit my hometown of Elgin, N.D.
With the summer season here, it also brings tornado season. Some severe tornado's have hit North Dakota in the past but there is one I will never forget- July 4th, 1978- The tornado that struck my hometown of Elgin!
As the school year winds down I'd like to say congratulations to all the students state wide on a great year! Their is one special Student I'd like to give a shout out to...Josh Seibel from Bismark High. Josh's parents are Jason and RaeAnn Seibel and I know them quite well since I went to high school with them.
