Scoping It Out

Hey folks, you had best put on your tennis shoes and lace them up for some running this weekend.

A number of activities are scheduled and you don’t want to miss out on all the fun.

The big hoot is the 77th annual Lutefisk and Meatball Dinner served up at First Lutheran Church on Saturday.

This annual event serves more than 3,000 as folks come from near and far to enjoy the feast.

Everyone is welcome as this becomes the big social event leading into Spring.

Along with the feed the Scandinavian Heritage Fest is on tap at the New Armory with the evening calling for a classical concert offered by the Williston Concert Association.

That production takes place at the Williston High School Auditorium.

Gun enthusiasts will have a chance to check things out with a gun show set to run Friday through Sunday at the Airport International Inn Courtyard.

Meanwhile, the Old Armory offers an opportunity to check out 20 young ladies competing for titles leading up to the Miss North Dakota Pageant.

All in all, it is shaping up to be a great weekend.

You should also be aware of a fund-raiser for Tom Oxendahl set for Trinity Christian School on Sunday.

We encourage you to take part or drop a donation by Gate City Bank.

NIGHT OF MUSIC

Keep checking back as we will have details on the 4th annual NIght of Music set for April 10 at the Airport International Inn.

This is shaping up to be a grand night and you don’t want to miss out.

Make plans now to attend the 4th annual Night of Music set to begin at 6:30 p.m. on April 10 at the Airport International Inn in Williston.

This event, which will serve as a fund-rasier for the Virgil Syverson Performance Center outdoor summer concerts, has proven to be a great evening.

In addition, funds raised will be used to continue providing a music scholarship at Williston State College in memory of Wade Westin.

Scott Kirby, a featured ragtime piano player has been booked as the headliner, along with a large number of local talents.

This is one evening you don’t want to miss.

The highlight of the evening seems to be when the Big Band strikes up and folks begin to dance into the evening.

Watch for further details.

Don’t complain about a lack of things to do as the month of February is loaded with food and fun.

This evening (Feb. 12) the Concordia College Band is in town for a 7:30 p.m. performance at the Williston High School Auditorium.

The second day of Dial M For Murder unfolds at the Old Armory Theatre, along with a Valentine Day matinee.

Now that sounds exciting.

Saturday brings the annual API Chili Cook-Off excitement back to town with the event unfolding at the Airport International Inn.

That is but the beginning of things to come.

Shrove Tuesday provides a great pancake feed at St. Peter’s Church, while Lutefisk is in the wings.

Hang on for the ride.

Thanks to the old groundhog we have six more weeks of winter.

Well folks, regardless of shadow, or no shadow the same fate awaits us.

But, to have some fun there’s nothing wrong with tradition.

We will just have to make the best of it and ride out the situation.

How about those folks out east who are battling some 30 inches of snow.

Now they have something to complain about.

When folks in this part of the state got a blast it is barely mentioned in the national media.

With the snow falling on Washington DC you hear of President Obama traveling around while others are told to sit tight.

Oh well, after all he is our leader.

Hang in there folks, it won’t be long before we are complaining about mosquitoes.
