BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — Originally, we had a huge number of events lined up to celebrate the weekend in areas all across our viewing area — but with the announcement of an unexpected freak snowstorm sweeping across the state, unfortunately, literally every event and place of work across the state of North Dakota has been closed in order to brace for the storm. This, sadly, means that there are no events to write about.
…
April Fools.
Bismarck/Mandan
Breakfast with the Bunny — Join the Easter Bunny himself for a breakfast at the Missouri Valley Family YMCA.

Sunday, April 2, 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Kaymen! Presents: Fight Club — Rule one of Fight Club is that you never talk about fight club — but thankfully, this one is ripe for discussion.

There’s even an open mic freestyle circle for anyone looking to try rap out for themselves! Saturday, April 1, 7:30 p.m.

Easter Egg Pool Hunt — An egg hunt unlike any other will be taking place at the West River Community Center this weekend! Plastic eggs will be floating and sinking in the WRCC pool on Sunday, and it’s up to kids ages 2-12 to find them.

Pizza and Pals — Bring your kids to this family-friendly event at the Biesot Activities Center, where they (and you) can enjoy food, face painting, coloring, storytime, and up-close encounters with their favorite characters. With crafts, snacks, and a dance party to round out the event, it’s fun for everyone. Saturday, April 1, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
It may not be the most effective or complex animated April Fools’ prank, but working within the standards of the network and proper digital conduct, it’s the best we can do. There are no major events in Williston, so there’s a chance that they didn’t get the joke. These events, however, are open, so feel free to get out and enjoy everything this weekend has to offer!
