ST. JOSEPH — At Dented K Quarter Horse Ranch, horses are the key to many hopes and dreams come true.
Rick Kaeter, Vicki Johnston, Barb Feia, Rick’s daughter, and his two granddaughters, Kaydence and Kenzie Feia, work countless hours breeding, training and riding their horses. The family also hosts a plethora of events at their ranch, including weekly barrel races during the summer.
Kaydence and Kenzie, both teenagers, have worked with horses their entire lives and now compete in rodeos throughout the state.
An unpredictable art
Pariseau creates distinctive, wood-fired pottery
LANESBORO — For Sue Pariseau, it is her wood-fired kiln named Gertie that creates the distinctive effects on her pottery. Her unpredictable, earthy-toned, one-of-a-kind creations include the rare “kiln booger” and fire-induced, colored-changed clay and glaze.
“(Each piece) tells the story,” Pariseau said. “It shows the path of that fire going through the kiln.”
Pariseau has been doing pottery since about 1999 when she took her first community ed class. Her craft has grown from participating in community studios to making pottery inside a pink foam insulation box with a space heater, and now to her full-time rural Lanesboro studio of today.
