Wick Peth: The Life and Times of a Rodeo Bull Fighter (Part 2)
Tuesday, 21 January, 2025
In Part 1 of our two-part series, we learned about the life of Bow native Wick Peth and how he became a nationally recognized bull fighter in the professional rodeo circuit. Along the way we also learned a little bit about the history of the Peth Family, courtesy of Wick's son and daughter, Dan and Liza. We kick off Part 2 with Skagit County Historical Museum executive director Jo Wolfe explaining how the Wick Peth exhibit came together, and the museum's goal of not only sharing his story but the story of rodeo in the Skagit Valley as well. We finish up the interview with Dan Peth and Liza (Peth) Bott telling us some great anecdotes about traveling with their famous dad, and of the way he has shaped their lives.
