VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NDWS) – The woman behind the activity at the North Dakota Winter Show in Valley City started her Winter Show attendance as a baby in a car seat, stashed under the table at the craft show.
Tesa Rode Klein grew up in Adrian, N.D., attending the Winter Show with her mom, Patricia, as Patricia sold crafts at the fair, and her dad, Loren, who, with Patricia, was part of the N.D. state Holstein sale held at the Winter Show.
It actually goes back another generation for Klein. Her maternal grandma, Jean Miller, was part of a homemakers group that volunteered with the show, and her paternal grandpa, Paul Rode, was in the band that played during the rodeo and at the Eagles Club.
