KILLDEER, N.D. (AP) _ A decade of planning for the High Plains
Cultural Center is taking shape with a backbone of steel rising in
the North Dakota town of Killdeer.
The center will feature 13,000 square feet of space for 4-H
exhibitions, wedding receptions, western events, meetings, sports
and education classes.
David Twist of Manning says a committee has raised about
one-third of the $1.5 million, enough to get a good start at
construction this fall.
Twist says the committee plans on a construction loan to finish
the interior. He hopes that now that local people can see a
beginning they'll be willing to make donations to see it to the
end.
Terrald Bang of rural Killdeer says the center should be running
by summer.
