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.
