Hometown Hoedown: photos from Conrad's Black Dirt Days

Firemen Denny Hines, Larry Ladehoff, Ron Ladehoff, and Dean Ladehoff were honored by the city of Conrad along with other EMS workers during Black Dirt Days for their service to the community. The quartet has logged over 150 years of service combined at the Conrad Fire Department and were awarded plaques commemorating their time spent at the Conrad Fire Department. Ron Ladehoff was notably absent from the ceremony due to a recent hospitalization, but he will be honored separately at a later date. (Nick Baur photos)
