Just because winter has settled in doesn't mean you have to do the same. Break the chains of winter and see what fun can be had in North Dakota. Our abundance of snow is perfect for sledding or your favorite outdoor winter activity. Retreat indoors by catching a flick at one of North Dakota's small town theaters and snuggle up with your sweetie on Valentine's Day while discovering foods and locations that are uniquely North Dakota.

The 2011 Dakota Memories Heritage Tour is scheduled for Sept. 15-18. The tour will focus on German-Russian sites in south-central North Dakota and provide participants with direct cultural heritage and learning experiences.
