Scoping It Out

Hey folks, if you’re looking for things to do the month of June is leaning in your favor.

Williston will be very active with a number of events on the table.

Some of those include the 60th annual Miss North Dakota Pageant, along with the annual Economart/Delaney Baseball Tournament.

Add to that the North Dakota State American Legion Tournament and the Upper Missouri Valley Fair.

You can tack on fun in Harmon Park as the ND Legion State Band will perform a special concert on June 27 at the Virgil Syverson Performance Center, while local favorite Eldon Johnson is on tap to return home for a big concert the same evening at the VSPC.

Stay tuned and hang on for the ride.

With Memorial Day 2009 now behind us it’s time to believe the sun will actually shine and folks can get outdoors and feel the rays.

Now that may be positive thinking after this past winter.

Regardless, it’s time to move forward.

Part of your summer fun will include a visit to Medora as the famed Medora Musical opens on June 3 with the Burning Hills Singers taking to the stage.

Fantastic Job Christenson returns for yet another season as he will be featured once again.

We plan to pay an early visit and will update you as to what you can expect this season.

The month of June is shaping to be a very busy month for folks in Williston.

Events include the likes of the Miss North Dakota Pageant, State American Legion Tournament, Fort Union Rendezvous and the Upper Missouri Valley Fair, to name a few.

Stay tuned and we will keep you in the loop.

Once again, weather or not, Memorial Day is but a few days away.

Mother Nature is finally getting into the act with some pretty nice weather being dished out.

Hold on!

While it has been nice, that doesn’t mean a change can occur without notice.

One thing for certain, we simply have to make the best of what we have and move forward.

At the same time we remind you to get out and enjoy whatever sunshine breaks through.

On the other hand we encourage you to take time this Memorial Day to pause and give thanks and a salute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Many look at Memorial Day as simply a time for a Bar-B-Cue or an opportunity to go camping.

If time allows take part in your local ceremony and join hands with others in a community salute.

It’s the right thing to do.

With the recent release of fellow journalist Roxana Saberi there has been an expression of joy and relief across the country.

Roxana spent nearly four months confined in prision in Iran on charges that she was a spy for our country.

Now an appeals court saw the light and did the right thing by letting her free.

Roxana is due to return to her home in Fargo along with her parents.

The entire family has gone through a lot and they will need time to heal.

One can only imagine what Roxana has gone through.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.
