All You Can Drink Milk

When I’ve spent a good time baking in the hot midday sun, there is only one beverage capable of restoring my calcium and vitamin D levels back to their status quo: milk, in a quantity definable only by as much of the stuff that I care to have. No other beverage will do. All You Can Drink Milk, whose milk is supreme because it comes from strong and proud local cows, is just what you need in order to fortify yourself before setting out to the 4-H building where you can assess which teenager has bred the handsomest turkey.

North Dakotans had to work hard for the booze that they needed back in the old days. There weren’t very many stores around, and even those that were couldn’t sell the stuff until 1933. Like so many other times on the frontier, people had to be handy to get what they wanted — and fairly often that was sweet, brown liquor.

The North Dakota State Fair is returning to Minot this July for its 96th year. Listening to kids scream for dear life as they’re whisked around by the Tornado ride, becoming torpid with the onion rings and pie served by the First Lutheran Church, and applying your own considerable expertise in goats to prognosticate which goats are going to win the goat show — these are all crucial parts of celebrating any North Dakotan summer, but it’s the fair’s concerts that make the biggest memories. Here are the big, hot acts coming to this year’s North Dakota State Fair.

When Melissa “Missy” Mees opened Mees Physical Therapy in Lincoln last September, her goal of treating five patients daily seemed ambitious at first. Only two weeks after the grand opening, however, the outpouring of support from the local and surrounding communities meant her goal would become moot. Missy is now partnering with local chiropractor Dr. Coty R. Sicble, DC and creating a new business named Reclaim Health! Reclaim Health will open late July in a new location, but still nestled in the town of Lincoln. Missy and Coty share the same treatment philosophy and are thrilled to show patients how this new teamwork will greatly benefit their overall health.

Golf is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
