Thousands visit KX/Co-op Day
tent at the State Fair
A record turnout for this year’s North Dakota State Fair spilled over into the KX/Co-op Day celebration at the fair as well. The KX/Co-op breakfast drew about 1,125 folks to the Ward County Historical Park for pancakes and sausage. In the afternoon, some 3,200 folks stopped by the KX/Co-op tent for free ice cream cones scooped by many co-op directors. NDAREC would like to extend a thank you to all co-op employees and directors who came out to help make this event such a great success, including the entire board and many of the employees of Verendrye Electric and Mountrail-Williams Electric board.
