Description

Ken Boen was the happiest man at the Fat Stock Show. The night before, he had "saved" his clown partner, Benny Bender of Mobridge, South Dakota. "I've been praying for Benny a long time now, and I prayed some more. Benny just sat there for a while, his head down. Then it happened. He looked up. On his face was the biggest smile I ever saw. 'I'm saved,' Benny told me. We went out into the arena right after that and he gave the best show of his life."
