Crazy Horse Memorial—Night Blast to Remember
Founder Ruth Ziolkowski and The Battle of Little Big Horn.
Crazy Horse, SD—June 26, 2019 is your opportunity to see the Crazy Horse Monument light up in an exhilarating display of pyrotechnics. The Night Blast honors the birthday of the late Ruth Ziolkowski (1926-2014), wife of the late Crazy Horse founder and sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski. Ruth’s passion, persistence, vision, and leadership continues to be an inspiration to many. The evening also remembers the Battle of Greasy Grass (June 25, 1876), also known as the Battle of the Little Big Horn or Custer’s Last Stand. Crazy Horse was a main strategist in the defeat of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his troops.
