Members of the Greater Grand Forks community turned out in force Sunday to honor frontline workers with a parade.
The Dec. 20 parade was one of the concluding events of the week that Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski designated as “Light the Town Green Week” as a way to honor frontline health care workers and pay tribute to their grit and determination as they continue to battle COVID-19, Bochenski said.
