The Minot Area Chamber EDC held its annual military day in the park on Friday, hosting military members past and present and their families.

The chamber serves food, sets up bouncy houses for children to play in and opens access to the Roosevelt Park Zoo, the pool and Maysa Arena to military personnel and veterans at the annual event.

Keli Rosselli-Sullivan, workforce development and military liaison for MACEDC, explained the event was moved this year from Roosevelt Park to Oak Park due to the work on the flood protection project. She also said typically around 1,500 people come to the event, and this year they “had a great turnout.”
