This treasure of a candy shop is worth a stop every time you are in Grand Forks. The cheerful interior, the selection and the free sample draw me in. I bought 4 boxes of chippers for gifts. The chocolate covered potato chips are their signature item but lots of other fun items, choc covered olives, pickles, pretzels and other “normal” candy.

Park established in rememberance of the flood of April 18, 1997.
This Memorial Park is a result of the flood of 1997. After the flood of ‘97, plans were drawn up and executed to build dikes and flood walls to protect Grand Forks from future flooding of the Red River. This meant removing roads and buildings which left a lot of riverside property wide open. “Let’s make it a park!” ...and so they did. This park in Downtown Grand Forks is also home to the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Flood Memorial to show the height of the ‘97 flood, and other flood heights as well. Memorial Park is connected to an incredible walking/running/biking trail that we call the Greater Grand Forks Greenway. There are miles and miles of paved trails along both sides of the river which are connected by bridges and walkways. These trails give you awesome views of the river and the nature that calls this place home. Whether you are up for a nice walk, or a looking for a place to ride your bike without fear of vehicle traffic, or maybe you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, the Greater Grand Forks Memorial Park and the Greenway is always a good choice.

Monument honors the rescue workers of the April 18, 1997 flood.
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!

My time at the Japanese Garden in Sertoma Park today was incredible! The autumn colors and the fresh snow from our Oct. 11-12th snow storm was most certainly breathtakingly beautiful! It was certainly one of the best experiences I have ever had at this wonderful park! Grand Forks is very fortunate to have a special place like this in our fair city. Oct 12th 2019
