On Saturday the picnic/party at Frontier Village will be from 5-p.m., to 7-p.m. with a pulled pork meal, provided by Reister Meats, of Streeter.  Ms. Hardy added that tickets are required at $10 each  and includes the meal and a souvenir 125th North Dakota Anniversary blanket.

She said tickets are limited to 150, and  should be purchased as soon as possible. Tickets can be purchased from any Young Professionals of Jamestown member or at the Tourism Office, or the Jamestown Chamber office.

The free concert and street dance will be from 7-p.m., to 11-p.m.

Swedlund, adds, that the state is celebrating its 125th Anniversary and the North Dakota State Historical Society’s 125th Planning Committee chose Jamestown, Dickinson and Devils Lake to host events outside of the two main events planned for Aug. 16 and Nov. 2 in Bismarck.
