Grand Forks, ND

Midwest Culture Bearers Award

FY2024

A painting of a small town with several buildings and people dining and playing sports, with written text reading, “When we were young, Lintonville became Regal-named after Mr. Weidner’s new Buick. Buildings stood where now there are none, and new ones built in once-plowed fields. These were days of pancake breakfasts, smelt fries, a baseball championship, and the magical light of a beer sign showing moving sky-blue water and a campfire. Oh, how I wanted to live in that enchanted little tent.”
