The atmosphere, the food, the fans, the band, all of it. If you ever get a chance to take in a University of North Dakota hockey game in this facility, it is fantastic! I have been to a few NHL arenas, but none that have the feel of the Ralph!

We were in town for business and wanted to take a walk around the area after enjoying coffee time at Urban Stampede, so we just started walking. We knew about the devastating floods in the past and this was to place to come and visualize. We walk along the beautiful river walk and stopped at the Flood Memorial Monument. WOW. Water that high? YES. Quick and easy walk, worth your time to go see and have a point of reference to talk with the locals.

During our recent road trip we spent time in Grand Forks North Dakota, not by choice! Our car broke down just after we arrived and we ended up getting another Ford Expedition from Lithia Ford (they attempted to fix the other car, but to no avail). While there, they loaned us another car and we got to visit UND! What a beautiful campus, and since we are hockey fans, the Englestad hockey arena is amazing! Sickies Garge still the best cheese burger my husband says,although you have to cross the bridge to Minnesota to get it!

The Roar and Rumble of the Races is something that you need to experience! The racers and their crews put a ton of heart and talent into what they do! It can only appreciated if you take time to check out the races at the River Cities Speedway and see what they do firsthand. Don't forget to bring earplugs with you. These races can be very LOUD! Oh... and bring a friend and an extra set of earplugs for them. They will be glad you did!
7. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that through Jesus Christ all humankind may enjoy eternal life with their families in God’s kingdom (see John 3:16). We also believe that we lived with God as spirits before we were born (see Romans 8:16) and that according to His plan of happiness we came to earth to receive physical bodies in order to learn and grow. We also believe that, through the work done in temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, family relationships can last forever. In order to receive these blessings, we must seek to know and follow God’s will, as revealed by holy scriptures and living prophets, and live righteously.
