Just a note to let you know that 17 students from the UND's track and field teams showed up as expected and worked for a solid 3 hours at cleaning up the buildings and grounds along with setting up for Water Festival.  We also had 9 members and visitors on the grounds as well working on various projects.

Everyone worked extremely hard and seemed to enjoy the chili lunch along with all of the goodies that were delivered.  Most of the students had never heard of Heritage Days or Heritage Village and seemed very impressed with the grounds, equipment and displays.  Some of the students had the opportunity to drive a tractor under Dale's tutelage and they loved it!  I had 4 tell me they wanted to drive one in the Tractor Cade.  Several talked of coming out another time to help out and attend Heritage Days.

They were great and we hope to have them out again next year.
