Effie and Shannon Clairmont celebrated the New Year as the new owners of Muley Bluz Cowboys Toys in Ronan.
The Clairmonts are breed and train horses so a saddle shop is not foreign terrain to them, but leather work is a new skill. Steve Crumm, who has owned Muley Bluz for 25 years and sold them his business, is teaching them “all about leatherwork” and “everything about the business,” Effie said.
Effie is in her 20th year at Salish Kootenai College, where she’s chair of the Humanities Department and co-chair of the Social Sciences Division. Shannon is supervising wildlife biologist at the National Bison Range.
