| Chokecherries Donated for Wine |
| 9/30/2009 |
| Chokecherry wine is on the way. This morning at the state Capitol, the Billings County Historical Society turned over chokecherries collected by its members to the Maple River Winery. The chokecherries will be used to make "Historical Medora Chokecherry Wine," hoped to be ready for the Medora`s Old Fashioned Cowboy Christmas in December. The Billings County Historical Society says the wine links North Dakota nature, agriculture, business, and tourism together to showcase the state. "It`s doing very well for the Billings County museum in the fact that in 2007 we actually got 20 percent of our revenue that we used that year from the sale of the wine," says Leona Odermann, of the Billings County Historical Society. Between 500 and 750 bottles of wine are expected to be produced. The tradition began in 2007 after the legislature made the chokecherry North Dakota`s official berry. |
