There are several things to note in this photo.
1. The event that is occurring is the lowering of the flags which occurs every evening, and they are raised every morning. This is narrated by a loudspeaker which can be heard all through town, and is performed by "troops" weather they be girl scouts or anonymous horse riders, as seen in today's photo.
2. The man in the black jacket and hat is Cowboy Lyle Glass, Medora's resident cowboy. Due to health issues, he isn't riding this year but he oversees the raising and lowering of flags every day. He also has a candy shop named after him.
3. There is a man wearing a nice combination of colors in the foreground.
4. To the right of that man's head is General Custer. He drives a PT Cruiser.
5. You will also notice some horses on the right of the photo, a common sight in the streets of Medora.
At least General Custer doesn't look like he has a pillow stuffed down his shirt like a certain T.R. does.
