Seeking Info on Pat Beardstail show: Genevieve “Genny” Belgarde and David Belgarde
From Tim Hyke: Stewartville, MN
Hello Gary,
My name is Tim Hyke and I am from Stewartville, MN. I am looking for some info on the Pat Beardstail Show and/or the tv station that broadcasted it. I am not sure if I have the name of the show correct or not, but that is what we think it was. I saw it mentioned in the Dunseith Alumni blog a few times. That is why I am contacting you. My Grandmother and Great Uncle grew up in Belcourt and Minot and they performed on the show a number of times. They have both passed away now and our family thought we would look in to finding out if any of the shows were recorded and if there was any chance we could get recordings of it. Everyone in our family has heard many stories about them singing and playing guitar on the show and we would love to see it. Do you have any ideas on who might know something? What the tv station was? Someone who worked on the show? Someone who worked at the tv station? I really don’t know where to start so I thought I would throw it out there. I appreciate any help you could give us.
Best Regards,
Tim Hyke

Gary,
It was a group from Minot and the show was aired on KCJB-TV which is the predecessor of KXMC-TV in Minot. We know some people who would probably have the info on the group. They are musicians in the Minot area and talk about this show once in a while. While I barely remember it on TV, I do know it played once a week and I think it was on the weekends. I can ask our friends for more info.

Dunseith Alumni Reunion Dinner:
Folks, we were trying not to have to collect for the dinner in advance, but we will be charged for the number we give the caterer, so that pretty much locks us into collecting in advance for those that would like the dinner. Verena has make arrangements with a catering service out of Rugby. This is what she has made arrangements for:
Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, Bacon/Lettuce Cauliflower Salad, Dinner Roll and Dessert for $10.00 per plate.
It’s not a requirement to purchase the catered dinner to attend the reunion. Verena asked the caterer if they could provide food for purchase, on site, for those that prefer not to have the catered dinner. They said they could make a few roast beef sandwiches, cold cuts, etc that could be purchased on site.
Verena has calculated $5.00 per head to cover all miscellaneous expenses. This includes the Facility, decorations, table covers, several cakes, the hiring of a clean up crew the following day, etc
For those of you desiring the catered meal, please send your payment of $10.00 Plus $5.00 ($15.00 total) per person payable to
Verena Gillis PO Box, 785 Dunseith, ND 58329 (701) 263-3302
The caterer has given us a deadline of May 14th.
For those attending that have not paid in advance, we will be collecting the $5.00 registration fee at the registration desk the day of the reunion.
We will be making contact with all of you signed up for the reunion, that we do not get a reply from, to make sure you are informed of the reunion details.
