Valley City ND – Hello Folks, Wednesday July 31 from 9:00am to 6:00pm is “Crazy Daze” in Valley City.  There will be “Crazy good deals” at businesses along with a plethora of fun activities for all.  Come out, visit your friends and just “hang out” 🙂

We have a beautiful Carnegie Library in Valley City.  It is one of only three in North Dakota relatively unaltered from its original form. Currently there is an interior refurbishing underway restoring the beauty of the dome, stop in and have a look as it is really impressive.  “If you feel lucky”, purchase raffle tickets to help support the efforts as well.

Numerous storm drains are plugging during rains …. Just use a rake to drag trash off the drain.  AND it is easier to do before it rains!  Thank you.

While we have had some significant rains, we have not had flooding others have endured.  A friend in Vermillion, SD shared they had broken force mains with sewage escaping into the river and in the McCook Lake area, homes and belongings were floating away.  Pray for those folks and we can count our Blessings.

The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) is the first K-12 State Education Agency to earn National Accreditation.  That is a BIG WOW!  Congratulations & thank you to all who dedicate their lives to K-12 Education in North Dakota.

Last Sunday, VCPB, VCFD and VCPW played a Whiffle Ball round robin. In spite of the heat, a great turnout of family and friends enjoyed the games.  UNOFFICIAL results indicate each team won one, but VCPW had the most total runs and won the tiebreaker!  Thank you Tana and all who helped facilitate the event, the players and hopefully all the kids had fun.

Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this article.
