Winter Festival - 1971
The Minot Downtown Merchants held a Winter Festival in mid
February back in the early 70’s. The Festival was a three day event covering
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Most of the Downtown Merchants featured advertised
special during the event. Some of the other activities included a Torch Light
Parade on Main Street, Beard Judging Contest, Snowmobile races at the Fair
Grounds, Carnival Night at the Auditorium, Kids Mini toboggan Races at Jim Hill
(prior to the new High School being built), Trap Shooting at the gun club and a
basketball game between the Minot Sate football team and the Minnesota Vikings.
