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!
2. Widman's Candy Shop

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.

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.
5. University of North Dakota

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!
6. River Cities Speedway

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. Japanese Gardens

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
