If so, then come on out to Bernie’s Wine & Liquors’ Bacon & Beer Festival.

Defending art and heritage at Arbor Park

March 1st, 2017

There’s still time for community members in Grand Forks to prepare for the June 20th vote that will determine the fate of Arbor Park. Development groups have proposed construction of new condominium and commercial buildings within the park space, while others are staunchly opposed to altering one of the city’s iconic green spaces.

Arbor Park lies on South 4th Street in downtown Grand Forks, and was created from 2000 to 2001, after the flood of 1997. The park includes many sculptures…

Amazon is the world's largest big box store. I do mean big box! There are millions of products to choose from. A great number of them are just a day away if you want.
