Mariah and Brady Boese made Dickinson, North Dakota their home because of the job opportunities available to them as soon as they graduated from Dickinson State University. Over the years they have watched their small-town flourish with big city recreational activities.
“Dickinson has truly grown, bringing the excitement of baseball with the Badlands Big Sticks to our community. Alongside the scenic outdoor walking paths and the serene kayaking experiences at Patterson Lake, there's an abundance of activities to enjoy. Being so close to Medora and the Badlands, we love the getting our kids outside and exploring the numerous hiking trails. There's always something wonderful to do here,” said Mariah Boese.
