MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A father-son duo is keeping a family tradition alive at a Minot western-wear shop.
Andy Nikitenko and his son, Greg, open up Bray's Saddlery shop at sunrise each morning. It opened in 1927.
The family-owned shop has saddles as well as shoe repair, and the machinery is nearly 70 years old.
Greg Nikitenko says he's following in the footsteps of his father at the shop as well as on the race track. Andy started racing in 1953 and was a founding member of Nodak Speedway, and Greg says he's getting ready for upcoming races.
Andy Nikitenko says he has grandsons, and the duo is already making plans for the next generation.
