Valley hospital celebrates Christmas in July

The Lifelong Learning Institute through Syracuse University gathered at Onondaga Lake Park today.

The 4th of July may be over but that's not stopping some from shooting things into the sky. The Gateway to Science held it's 4th annual rocket day today in Bismarck. Participants first built their rockets. After careful assembly..the rockets were launched. Amanda Person is the Program coordinator for Gateway to Science and she hopes everyone takes something home with them. It's really fun to watch rockets go off, everyone loves the 4th of July so we're sort of sneaking in a little bit of science as well to have the kids come to see the rocket but also learn about why and how these types of rockets go off Volunteers helped build water rockets, Alka Seltzer rockets, air pressure rockets and engine-propelled rockets. Even the kids have good things to say. My Rocket went as high as Tom S. (Loren Anderson/Rocket Launcher) Family rocket day is a great day to learn about different types of rockets and how they fly.

Alley Crawl takes place Saturday

It's a day of education and fun. Hundreds of you headed south of Mandan...for the Northern Great Plains Research Lab's annual Friends and Neighbors Day. This year's theme The World Down Under...The Future Starts with the Soil is focusing on the ground underneath our feet. One day out of the year the campus is open to the public to give all of us a better understanding of just what actually goes on at the research facility. (Jon Hanson / Lab Director) WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT Agricultural RESEARCH, WE CAN SHOW THEM THE BEAUTIFUL FACILITIES WE HAVE OUT HERE, WE CAN JUST GET THEM INVOLVED IN Agriculture. AND THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT AGRICULTURE AND ARE INVOLVED IN IT, THE BETTER FOR THE STATE. Producers are taking field tours...learning more about cover crops, Corn production and carbon sequestration. And of course checking out some of the latest farm equipment. And campus activities are focusing on what happens in your backyard. (Val Howard / Bismarck Teacher) Now I teach environmental science and environmental science has to do with weather, soils, and how we preserve the productivity of our land. So I thought this was a great place to come to find out about it. Friends and Neighbors day requires a great deal of preparation. Hanson says planning for next year's event...starts tomorrow.

Preparations are coming to a close inside the fairgrounds, and outside the Minot Police Department has finalized its job of making sure traffic is moving safely. Speed limits have been lowered to 25 miles an hour once again this year on Burdick Expressway with a device set up to show you how fast you are going. Chuck Laboy with the department says it is vital that drivers keep an eye on for pedestrians while driving in the area because not all of them will be looking for you. Also you'll notice a much larger police presence in the area. (Chuck Laboy - Minot Police Department) We increase patrol in this area because of the amount of traffic and pedestrians in the area. Hopefully it will be a safe fair for everyone? Yes. While the police will be busy outside the fences of the fairgrounds, it will be the Ward County Sheriff's Department making sure things go smoothly at the Fair itself.
