Going downtown
The start of another school year might be fast approaching, but the merchants of downtown Minot are planning on giving children and their parents a quick break Sept. 6 with the Fall Festival on Main. The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., take up several blocks on Main Street and offer an almost embarrassing amount of events for people to take part in. Denise Lindbo, owner of the Gourmet Chef and chairwoman of the festival, says there will be no shortage of attractions for everyone in the family. “We have stuff going on all day long for families, kids, you know, you name it,” Lindbo said. While the festival itself will start at 10 a.m., a fun run and pet walk will start the festival at 8 a.m., and a historic walking tour at 11 a.m. will give those wanting to break in a new pair of sneakers plenty of opportunities to do so.
