Heritage Days August

Heritage Days began as a ‘centennial celebration’ in 1976. Encouraged by the state of Minnesota and planned by the Chamber of Commerce, East Grand Forks; as part of the promotion to become a centennial city. The Chamber of Commerce met with Heritage Foundation board members and representatives from local agriculture and business to plan the first “Farmer’s Day” which was held in 1976. The following year Elsie Miller, Chamber of Commerce Secretary worked with Russ Beier, administrator of the Northwest Technical College, Heritage Foundation board members and representatives from local agriculture and business to plan the second “Threshing Day” which was held in 1977. “Heritage Days” became an annual event in 1978, under the Heritage Foundation presidency of Russ Beier.
