Leah moved to North Dakota when she was 12 years old and has traveled from the Red River Valley to the badlands and many places in between. She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
This tiny town in North Dakota has made a name for itself for having a one of a kind annual festival that draws crowds to see it every year. That town is Taylor, ND, located near Dickinson. The population is only 148 in this town but spirits are strong every July when this unique festival takes place.
Aside from the main events of the parade and demonstrations, Taylor Horse Fest also features horse training seminars, old farm equipment exhibits, a pie social, and tons of fun for kids like petting zoos and they can even take a crack at roping. At the end of the day there is a street dance for everyone to take part in. It’s a fun way to experience the state’s agricultural history first hand and in person while seeing beautiful horses and having fun all around town!
Taylor Horse Fest will take place on July 29th and July 30th, 2017. You can find more information and a full schedule of events by clicking here.
