In 1975 the Greater Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce met with Heritage Foundation board members and representatives from local agriculture businesses to plan the first “Farmer’s Day”. 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 businesses to plan a “Threshing Day”. “Heritage Days” became an annual event in 1977, under the Heritage Foundation presidency of Russ Beier.
