COOK OF THE WEEK - KELLY BOWMAN

It isn’t quite St. Patrick’s Day yet, but I sure enjoyed listening to Kelly Bowman sharing how her family really gets into that holiday, as her parents are Irish. She is even sharing a couple of their special “Irish” recipes with us today. Kelly Bowman came to Humboldt about a year ago now with one special “interest” in mind! Ryan Bowman and Kelly met while she was living in Fort Dodge. They both love to sing and she had just joined the Fort Dodge Choral Society of which he was a member. “I was asked to sing in a wedding and needed a guy to do a duet with. I asked Ryan to sing with me and he agreed. We hit it off right away once we began practicing with the accompanist. We sang that same duet in our own wedding this past September,” she said. As she was sharing this with me, you could tell this was a true “love story!” They have so much in common! Kelly’s parents are Tom and Sherry Fitzgibbon of Burlington. Ryan’s parents live a little closer.
