Events are planned in Minot this weekend to
commemorate the recovery from the historic Souris River flooding a
year ago.
The ``Weekend of Hope: Return to Oak Park'' events will be
highlighted by the reopening of the area's largest park on Friday.
Mayor Curt Zimbelman says it's a time to remember how far the
community has come in the past year, though he notes the city still
has a long way to go.
Other family-oriented events are planned for Saturday.
The flood displaced more than 11,000 people, damaged more than
4,000 homes and businesses and caused more than $1 billion in
damage.
