My 2 girls age 15 %26amp; 9 are driving from Edmonton AB to Minot, ND I have never been but would love to know if anyone knows of any %26#39;cool%26#39; things to see or do along the way? ANY input would be awesome!
HELP.....Looking for any attractions in or around Minot....
I was going to attempt to offer some ideas, but since your post is over a year old, I%26#39;ve decided to ask, so... how did it go? instead
HELP.....Looking for any attractions in or around Minot....
Hi! Yes, it will have been a year in April! We drove down there from Edmonton ,Ab. LONG DRIVE! with 2 kiddos but enjoyed stopping and checking out different towns. Favorite one was I think was Estevan? there is an HUGE old hospital/school that is shut down and boarded up but beautiful! there were tons of people walking around this place just checkin it out! Did alot of shopping in Minot, and stayed at the hotel attached to the mall, nothing like our WEM but it was fun. Thankxs for asking!
Estevan doesn%26#39;t ring a bell, but it%26#39;s nice to find out that you had a good time, I%26#39;m drawing a blank as to what ';WEM'; means though
the last time I was in ';The Magic City';, Minot, was last year in October for the annual (Norsk) H酶stfest, unfortunately the weather just happened to be nasty then, which makes driving difficult, Minot being a hill-y place doesn%26#39;t help, but I had a good (although not a lot of) time there, lots of music performances, lots of art %26amp; crafts stuff, all sorts of Scandinavian souvenirs, people walking around in national costumes, (%26amp; little snippets of people talking Norwegian all over the place, it was like I was in Norway again), %26amp; lots of, lots of, lots of food - %26amp; I didn%26#39;t have time to try anything! maybe some other year... %26amp; on one evening of it I attended a monologue, which I liked, ';Peer Gynt-With Troll In Heart';, though that wasn%26#39;t at the same grounds as the H酶stfest, that was performed at a small backstage theater at the local university, refered to as the Black Box Theater, but it was a part of the several-days celebration because 2006 was ';Ibsen%26#39;s Year'; in Norway, (%26amp; wherever else he%26#39;s recognized I suppose) %26amp; Peer Gynt is a character of Ibsen%26#39;s... 2007 is ';Grieg%26#39;s Year'; by the way, %26amp; this year will be the 30th year that they%26#39;ve held it, though I don%26#39;t know if they%26#39;ll do anything special for that in particular, tickets traditionally go on sale starting May 17th (Norway%26#39;s Constitution Day), a person has to pay a little extra for the ';big';-ish concerts, %26amp; it%26#39;s generally held sometime in October, or at least in the fall, if you ever consider visting Minot again and/or happen to be there around that time of the year, or for anybody else browsing these forums for events in Minot, for that matter... a little warning though, it is difficult to find a place to stay overnight if you%26#39;re planning on spending more than one day there...
he he sorry WEM is West Edmonton Mall One of the worlds largest malls that we are blessed to live only 1 1/2 hr. away. We have shopping, hotels, casino, waterparks, amusement parks, golf course, grocerys + more all under one roof! If you ever come to the Great White North, email me and would love to give you insight on our part of the world!
Yes, my family has been in Minot in October for the Festival Busy place that time of the year!
