25 Years Ago â 1996
Winter has left North Dakota with a final message another 3.1 inches of snow in the Bismarck-Mandan area, increasing this seasonâs snowfall to 77 inches. A slick mix of rain, sleet and snow fell across much of North Dakota, and, once again, regreased roads and slowed traffic to a white-knuckled crawl on many state highways. On the bright side, winter sports, including snowmobiles, sleds and building snowmen, are popular again, and the Huff Hills Skiing Resort can stay open another weekend.
Two 11-year-old Mandan girls, Brittany Reemps and Brooke Wehri, gymnasts of Dakota Star Gymnastics will travel to regionals in Kansas City. They are among the top eight finishers at the State Meet in Fargo on March 30 at the optional level. According to their coach Paul OâNeill, itâs the first time anyone from Mandan has ever gone to a regional meet.
