Said resident Jeff Stein to the Wahpeton Daily News, “While we’re not on that scale [of the Munich, Germany 16-day Oktoberfest], the spirit is the same.”

Hundreds of text messages, emails, and phone calls paid off for the people of Cavalier, who raised $57,000 to replace a rail bridge that burned in a grass fire in June. The community relies on the rail bridge for ag transport for businesses such as Cavalier Bean and Walhalla Grain. Twelve donors donated nearly $5,000 each to fund the construction.
