Norwegian delegation visiting Grand Forks
A delegation from Grand Forks' sister city of Sarpsborg, Norway, is visiting this week.
The Grand Forks Herald reports that the trip is aimed at strengthening bonds between the cities and their school systems. Among the participants are Sarpsborg's mayor, city manager and schools director.
Grand Forks officials say one of the goals is to develop an Internet-based exchange program that could expose more local students to Norwegian culture.
