Hi Linda, I'm not from North Dakota, but a bit further north than that, Winnipeg, Mb. I got a real kick out of these. I did spend many family vacations as a kid in the Holiday Inn in Grand Forks, and to make it even worse, we actually drove about 3 1/2 hours to do so, LOL. I got a big kick out of #13. This year I got real smart, LOL, my son was a cave man. 3 yards of fun fur, toasty!!

All the men are working on there beards, and siting in their fire
