NEW LOCAL HISTORY SEGMENT

On Saturday mornings we are proud to be teaming with Redwing Shoes and adding a new segment that will discuss local history. Travis Rogers will join me at 6:45 every week to talk about the people, places, and events that have shaped Southern Colorado.

Travis Rogers will join me to talk about things like Outlaws, Gold Strikes, World War Two POW camps, The Spanish Flu of 1918, The KKK in Colorado, etc.

If you have an idea for a future segment, please contact me at richard@kvor.com

Red Wing Shoes is a footwear company based in Red Wing, Minnesota that was founded by Charles H. Beckman in 1905.

Within 10 years of its inception, Red Wing Shoes was producing more than 200,000 pairs of boots per year and was the primary company manufacturing footwear for American soldiers fighing in World War I. Red Wing Shoes continued its tradition of producing footwear for wartime use by manufacturing boots for American soldiers during World War II.

In addition to manufacturing footwear under their own name, Red Wing Shoes also manufactures shoes under the Carhartt, Irish Setter Boots, Vasque, and Worx brands. In 2008, Red Wing Shoes began making shoes under the Red Wing Heritage Lifestyle moniker with models drawing inspiration from past styles within the company's century-long history.
