Cratter Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Lets post some lesser known events. The concerts and sports get the headlines but there's is a lot of smaller events that go on throughout the region that are just as much fun. But they are harder to find. For example, today was the North Dakota Winter Show in Valley City. If you haven't been I'd recommend it. Still going on tomorrow I believe. It's free besides the main stage events which today was a rodeo and it was pretty much sold out. And it's Centrally located for almost the entire state. Last summer I saw a bunch of snaps from some massive turkey feed apparently I was never privy too. Which apparently is pretty "popular." Quote

gfNDfan Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 UND Wacipi/PowWow is this weekend! It's a chance for all you people who hang on to the Sioux nickname/Sioux Jerseys like grim death to act like you give a sh*t about the (actual) history!! It would give some validity to those hanging on to a nickname that has been officially retired. Maybe there still is a chance? Or you could just embrace the new nickname? It's easy to see - the hockey gods are confused by chanting for one team while another is on the ice. Fortune favors the brave - not the stubborn - or the privileged. There were 40 NHL draft picks among the 4 teams in the Frozen Four. The 2 B10 TEAMS in the semi's had 27 picks combined and LOST! Mn State Mankato has 1 - mark it here first they will win their first NC! Not because they are an A list of great players or have a classic nickname - they just have IT - the intangible combination of goaltending and hot players at the right time like UND's 1990's NC teams! Congrats Purple Cows! National Champs! PS - Tickets for the Wacipi still available on Ticketmaster for true Sioux fans. 1 Quote
gfNDfan Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 OK bad prediction - Congrats DU! Another NCHC Champ but we're coming after #9 as soon as we get our Karma together - whenever that will be! PS - forget to mention the PRIME STEEL CAR SHOW Is also this weekend at the Purp. Major sponsor is RYDELL so ANOTHER reason to turn out BIGTIME for another HUGE GF BUSINESS that totally supports UN...oh wait...no they don't...wow. I know several former UND players who bought their cars there. SAD! Quote
Cratter Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 This is tomorrow night. Went last year. They put on an entertaining show. Cheap tickets are only $15 (before fees and tax). Well worth the price. Already 80 to 90% sold out. Might not want to wait til last minute. 1 Quote

gfNDfan Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 a LONG LONG time ago - I remember when they would draw 20,000 people and parking in a field and taking a bus to the show. Nice to see this back! Plan to attend and show some support - the base needs it. Quote

Cratter Posted June 3, 2022 Author Posted June 3, 2022 As seen in another thread, Jerry Seinfield is going to be at the Chester Fritz. Quote

Only 35 or so on the main floor left mostly singles. A lot in the balcony still available but it will be a sellout by September. We've seen him twice here in GF. He likes college towns and that's cool. We payed $87.50 for floor tickets - more than worth it! Quote
gfNDfan Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 ALSO Artfest is next weekend in University Park. Used to be down by the river but the last couple years they've had it in U Park and it's been great with the big tree shade and the vendors. Another great local event to support! Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 ouch https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/thunderbirds-performance-canceled-due-to-high-winds Anybody make the drive out to the Base today? Quote

Yup. Sat out there for three hours. Left at 130 even though they claimed they'd fly at 230. Didn't have much confidence. And leaving early paid off. Worst winds I'd seen. Blizzard like visibility. 2 Quote

Lol I crossed over Highway 2 from gravel where cars are going 70+ mph. Three feet to see if it was clear or not. I said a prayer and hit the gas to cross. Quote
