Just last Monday night all across Eastern North Dakota the skies were brilliant

We here in Bismarck/Mandan were unable to catch the light show due to some annoying lingering clouds. About 296 miles east of Bismarck, Drayton North Dakota was treated to some of the most stunning light shows ever recorded. The sugar beet farmers that we"re lucky to have seen it will never forget it. I can only think of it as a gift from God, and definitely a reward for living in North Dakota!
