May was an interesting month for Boise City. The town played host to a production crew from Towers Enterprises, a company contracted out by The Weather Channel to shoot a documentary about drought conditions and the Dust Bowl.
On Mother's Day, six Cimmaron County residents were selected to portray a dust bowl era family and one volunteer from the Cimmaron Heritage Center to drive an old Model T car for the film. At a homestead in Cimmaron Co., they filmed the actors in the dirt, wind and weeds for several hours. The had the parents of the actors with directors Jody and Fred Risley stir up some dirt to make the effect seem more realistic.
Kenny Bob, LeLayne and Joshua Tapp, Dalyn Reust, Bob Anderson, and Wyatt and Kaylee Woolman were the actors filmed for the documentary with interviews from Mildred Stringfellow, Lois Garner and Millard Fowler from around the community.
The documentary will be airing on The Weather Channel tonight through Saturday at 8:00 p.m. each night.
