                       TRIBUTE TO BETSEY HEDRICK

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Betsey Hedrick of Dawson County for her contribution to the 
community through Betsey's Badlands Catering.
  Betsey was born and raised in Bozeman. After graduating from high 
school, she attended culinary school in Portland, which led her to work 
at a local country club and eventually run a steakhouse back in 
Bozeman. She and her husband, Phil, moved to Glendive 14 years ago, had 
their son Sam, and shortly after, she opened Betsey's Badlands 
Catering.
  Fixing food has always been Betsey's passion. Her favorite part about 
cooking is not what she is cooking or who she is cooking for; it is the 
impact that food has on people. No matter people's backgrounds or 
history, food brings them together. She loves being a part of something 
that brings joy to people's lives, and that is why she continues to do 
it daily.
  I congratulate Betsey on her significant contributions to Glendive 
and the greater Dawson County. I look forward to seeing her business 
grow and trying some of her famous seasonal dishes soon.
