April is a great time of year in N.D.<br />
After spending the previous four<br />
months bundled up while we ski,<br />
snowboard, snowmobile and fish, we can<br />
now hike, ride bike, fish and generally enjoy<br />
the outdoors with no more than a light windbreaker.<br />
Trees are budding out, and yards start<br />
to turn green as we ease into late spring and<br />
early summer.<br />
There are many things to do in N.D. during<br />
April, both indoors and outdoors, as we<br />
transition between seasons. We have concerts<br />
and sports shows; home shows and car<br />
shows; motorcycle shows and auto racing.<br />
By the time May rolls around, you will<br />
have enough to see and do to fill your calendar.<br />
Make it a point to check out some or all<br />
of the following events.<br />
Outside: It’s Easter, time for an Easter<br />
egg hunt or two. Take the kids to Fort Buford<br />
