NEWS & NOTES
4/28/2025
Hi Folks,
- I pray this day finds you and yours all well.
- Sue and I drove to Breckenridge, MN over the weekend and it was fun seeing the amount of field work being done. From a kid who worked on farms sixty years ago and my Dad in the implement business, I can’t get over the size of the equipment!
- This week, take a little time to call “a couple folks” and let them know you are thinking of them.
- Valley City High School (VCHS) and Valley City State University (VCSU) have a great partnership providing VCHS Students to earn dual credits through VCSU. “VCHS Students will have completed 817 credits in dual credit courses by the end of 2024-2025. For each college credit taken through dual credit, our students save $213.31.” Kudos to everyone who makes these things happen, thank you.
- Help keep Valley City clean. Avoid throwing cigarette butts, cans and other garbage on the streets; please contain said items in your vehicle and properly dispose later.
- “If you do something nice and get caught, it doesn’t count.”
- Valley City’s Young Professionals Network (YPN) is partnering with VCSU to host a “Speed Networking Event”. There will be about sixty students and twenty community professionals participating. The professionals will be at individual stations with small groups of students rotating through and having conversations with them. For further information see: www.developvcbc.com
- Roger Maris of Fargo was ranked by Sports Illustrated as North Dakota’s #1 Greatest Sports Figure from years 1900 to 2000.
- “May Day” is associated with numerous traditional celebrations with one being “May Day Baskets”. The May Day Basket tradition involves anonymously delivering small baskets of treats to friends, neighbors, or loved ones on May 1st. The gifter leaves the basket, knocks on the door, yells “May basket!” and runs away, adding to the secretive and playful nature of the tradition.
- Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
