MONTY'S TRAVELING REPTILE SHOW — Brian Teigen presented Monty's Traveling Reptile Show at the Colfax Free Fair on Sunday afternoon. When he invited the crowd to come and pet his American alligator after the show, a crowd of kids — of all ages — were eager to experience touching an alligator. Monty's Traveling Reptile Show was founded by Teigen's uncle, Monty Krizan, in the 1970s. Brian and his family of reptiles, including an anaconda and a rattle snake, live in Glenwood City. Monty Krizan passed away in 2018. — Photo by LeAnn R. Ralph
