VALLEY CITY, N.D. - The North Dakota Winter Show has adapted to change over the years and that's certainly true this year. For the first time ever, visitors to the North Dakota Winter Show will be able to enjoy the wide array of activities while being connected to the outside world thanks to free Wi Fi service that will be available in the buildings. No password will be required to use the service, which is being provided by Inter-Community Telephone Co., according to Dawn Riley, Winter Show manager.
