VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – We had some rain so the burn ban is off! YAY, but please be careful when burning as fire can get away quickly. Over the weekend and into early Monday morning Valley City received .90 inches of rain.
It is our Chamber of Commerce’s annual “Save Some Bucks & Spend Some Doe” celebration this Friday and Saturday. For those of us who don’t go deer hunting, it’s a great time to head uptown and the weather forecast is favorable. Check out some stores and visit with folks.
November 11th is Veterans’ Day, a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. The armistice between Allied Nations and Germany went into effect during the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of WWI, “the war to end all wars.” Thank a veteran.
Voting is our responsibility, be an informed voter and be sure to VOTE.

What if each of us would commit to executing three acts of kindness this week, how many people would be touched….? Perhaps help someone pick-up leaves, make a friendly phone call to someone you haven’t visited for a while, treat someone to coffee or bring your special someone a flower? “Kindness is contagious”.
