There is a participation fee, however, there will be free admission.\u00a0 The event will be evaluated by the number of participants and Village visitors and a random survey, with the information to determine the success of the event, and possible annual WDFA matches in Jamestown in the future.<\/p>\n
Co-sponsors of the event also includes the Quality Inn & Suites, Buffalo Inn, and Seekins\u2019 Motel.<\/p>\n
Numerous events are planned including a local celebrity event, along with participants from around the country who are in competition with each other with accumulated point totals, from the events.<\/p>\n
Single action revolvers are used, with wax bullets or blanks used, in the timed events.\u00a0\u00a0 How fast are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reported previously….<\/p>\n In other BCTF business, the board heard a presentation from Wayne Deery of Newman Signs for a new billboard contract for 2014. Deery said a total to 10 billboards will continue, with 7 paid for, over 36 months, at a cost of $2,930 per month.<\/p>\n Buffalo City Tourism Director Searle Swedlund said the item is in the upcoming budget, which is awaiting approval.<\/p>\n The billboards are located along I-94 near Valley City West Fargo, west of Mapleton, and Steele. Also on Higway 281 near Ellendale, and Carrington, and Highways 5 and 3 near Dunseith.<\/p>\n The board also approved spending up to $1,000 on a locomotive, \u00a0train cars, and a caboose, a replica, which was built several years ago in Jamestown which is powered by a six cylinder car engineer.<\/p>\n The train has been stored at Bonanzaville and is in need of restoration.<\/p>\n An outside party will bid on the item on an on-line auction which ends Wednesday at 5-p.m.<\/p>\n Issues concerning the purchase included the restoration and storage.<\/p>\n The late Jim Carlascio of Jamestown and other B-N employees were responsible for the building of the train, which was later donated to Bonanzaville, where it has sat idle the past few years.<\/p>\n It was suggested that the restored train could be used in parades and on display at locations in Jamestown to point to Jamestown\u2019s railroad heritage.<\/p>\n Update…<\/p>\n Swedlund said Wednesday evening that, the bid was up to $2400, so BCTF will not be the owner of this item.<\/p>\n He added that hopefully someone is from Jamestown will be the winning bidder. He said he was not certain that this is the end of the parade train conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V.
