Gov. William L. Guy

A documentary about the lives of Gov. William L. and First Lady Jean Guy called “The Charisma of Competence” premieres in June. Basin Electric has underwritten a portion of the costs to produce the documentary to honor their service to Basin Electric and the region.

The documentary is a presentation of The Dakota Institute of the Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation and Prairie Public Broadcasting. The premiere is free and open to the public.

Premiere schedule:  June 15 - Fargo Theatre, Fargo, ND, 7 p.m. and June 22 - Belle Mehus Auditorium, Bismarck, ND, 7 p.m.
