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 Himm (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.
