HOOPER -- Making custom-designed felt hats is a dying art. But a Hooper man is keeping it alive in a workshop in his backyard.

Kevin Mark says he is one of only two master cowboy hatters in Utah and one of only about 40 left in the United States. He has made hundreds of hats, hand-crafted in the way of the West.

He considers himself a cowboy at heart with the Utah heritage to prove it.
