On June 12, the Minot Area Chamber EDC teamed up with the Minot Park District for Military Appreciation in the Parks – a chance to say thank you to the men and women who serve our country.

Under beautiful skies at Oak Park, volunteers proudly served lunch to hundreds of local military members and their families. Yard games and informational booths made for a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Beyond lunch, personnel and their families were invited to show their military I.D. for free admission to skating at MAYSA Arena, along with day passes to the Roosevelt Park Pool and Roosevelt Park Zoo.

We extend our gratitude to Verendrye Electric Cooperative, our presenting sponsor whose generous support made the day possible – and we look forward to next year's Military Appreciation in the Parks!
