A Story to Tell — The Minot Symphony Orchestra is trying a new style for their family concerts, and you’re invited.

Dickinson
2023 NDGWA Annual Meeting and Conference — The annual meeting of the North Dakota Grape and Wine Association (NDGWA) will be taking place at Fluffy Fields Vineyard and Winery this year. With not only updates on grape breeding, wine fining, and wine presentations, but competitions, a banquet, and a social, there’s something for everyone.
Nothing in Williston this week, but seeing as how there was nothing in Dickinson next week, it balances out quite well. We’ll be back next week with another list!
