Fettig Family operation!

Tom and Kim Married August 14th, 1982. Tom was raised on a farm in south central ND, and Kim was raised on a farm in south western ND. Tom attended country school with a team of horses till the second grade. His family was always noted for having excellent teams of horses! This tradition is still known today, were both Tom & Kim enjoy their 4 horse hitch of draft horses (Luke, Duke, Louy, & Lucy) all Blue Roan Draft crosses. This is their pride and joy which they enjoy readily throughout the summer months, parading around town, and picking up wedding parties from church, and taking them to the dance hall. This is something the whole family gets involved with.
