INTO MINNESOTA

 After our lunch in Fargo we drove a mile or so across the North River into Moorhead Minnesota to the Hjemkomst Center.  There we saw a Viking ship and toured a Stave Church replica.

We waited a few minutes for our docent to show up to take us outside to the Stave Church which had been constructed on site as a replica of the churches in Norway.

When we left there we made a quick stop at the famous Dairy Queen in Moorhead.  It is one of the oldest Dairy Queen franchises.  Despite the cold some of us indulged in their treats.  Then we headed back to Hankinson.  It was a wonderful outing.

TRIP TO FARGO

 We all piled into two cars and set out for Fargo, an hour drive north of Hankinson.

Our first stop was at the Plains Art Museum which had a display of 42 quilts curated by Nancy Crow called  Color Improvisations 3.

We a bit surprised to see the museum was filled with workers installing tables and displays for an upcoming event.  There were light fixtures on the floor to manuever around and things being constructed.  We were thankful they let us in to see the show.

The next stop was lunch at Rosewild restaurant.  Excellent food!  Just across and down the street from the restaurant was the famous Fargo Theatre where the Fargo movie was premiered.
