Some of the events on this that shouldn’t be overlooked:
1) Vikings-Green Bay on TV , nothing like a border battle…in a border city!, (followed two weeks later by Vikings-Chicago, ALSO on TV)
2) The UMD Faculty Art Exhibition on 20 of the days
3) The sheer number of overall events at UMD and UWS that constitute big items for visitors (it doesn’t feel like this is the case anymore)
4) The three-day college hockey tournament over Thanksgiving (would much rather watch that than football after turkey)
Why does it say “Christmas City of the North 10th Anniversary” if the parade started in 1958, and this as is from 1970?
Because KBJR screwed up the count years ago and never corrected it. The parade didn’t start in 1958.
1970 – 10th annual
1969 – 9th annual
1968 – 8th annual
1967 – 7th annual
1966 – 6th annual
1965 – 5th annual
1964 – 4th annual
1963 – No parade held
1962 – 3rd annual
1961 – 2nd annual
1960 – Inaugural
Hey, that’s a good piece of trivia there, Paul!

Now I want to know what was in the “special visitor’s kit” that would make my visit a “Smasheroo”!!
