VALLEY CITY, N.D. (MAYOR) – “If you don’t like North Dakota weather, wait five minutes, it will change.” Is the changing weather why we seem to talk about it often? The weekend was beautiful, people were working in yards, walking, biking & fishing. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Maybe we’ll be Blessed with a little rain this week.
Over the weekend it was fun seeing young kids out playing in shorts and t-shirts, one was barefoot and wearing a diaper, cute!
There was a Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) Board Meeting last week. Drought, power adequacy, inflation & reliability were some of the topics. How can drought affect our power adequacy or costs? Less water flowing prevents hydro power plants from generating at maximum capacity resulting in less power available which forces market power purchases. MRES is continually working to provide a cost-affective, reliable power mixture for us as customers.
The Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce held its “Celebration and Awards Night” last Thursday. A nice crowd turned out to support the local businesses and people who are investing in Valley City and the area. A nice, succinct program and a good dinner made for a relaxing evening for all in attendance. Watch for next year’s event, come out and join in the the fun. “SHOP LOCAL”.
