I went to the winter food truck event this weekend at the Moorhead Center Mall. And by the looks of…

Social Distancing: Great Lengths For A Vaccine

Plus, hope in the form of potato chips

  COVID numbers are down a lot here in our region. North Dakota ranked 49th in new cases per capita in the U.S. this weekend. We were first for quite a while late last year.

Social Distancing: World’s Largest Snow Maze

Spectacular Maze Is Just Out Of Our Reach, In Southern Manitoba
Adam Ladwig,

  Too bad the Canadian border is closed due to COVID, because otherwise it would only be about a three hour drive to see this. The world’s largest snow maze! It opened this weekend in Manitoba. At least we can see it in video, and maybe get some ideas from it. An unseasonably warm winter had delayed the build in…
