Heard on the Radio: Combine Demolition Derby
The small farming town of Lind, Washington (named for the singer Jenny Lind) holds an ambitious rodeo weekend every year in June that draws thousands of people from all around Eastern Washington.
There are two days of rodeo events, a dance Saturday night, a big breakfast Sunday morning. The whole thing is launched Friday night with the highly weird Combine Demolition Derby.
It's a demolition derby. Except with wheat combines.
In a Left Jab "Hidden America" segment, we introduce Mark Walsh and David Goodfriend to Mike Doyle of Lind who explains the art of what it takes to participate and succeed in a Combine Demotion Derby.
If you miss the feature on Left Jab's radio broadcast (XM Satellite Radio - Channel 167 - Saturday at 11 a.m. with a re-broadcast Sunday at 1 p.m. - All times Eastern), you can catch it as a podcast at http://leftjabradio.com.
