🚨 MISSING: ONE ROCK 🚨 Our friends at the Grand Forks Police Department are on the hunt, and so are we 👀 An anonymous tip—delivered ransom note-style with magazine letters (very dramatic, I know)—claims the rock is “saluting in the shade” somewhere in the Alerus Center parking lot. 🕵️‍♂️ Your mission: Find this shady, saluting stone and return it to GFPD downtown 🎟️ Your reward: 2 tickets to the River Cinema Grand Forks Comic Con on August 9 So grab your detective hat, channel your inner Scooby-Doo, and help us crack the case of the rebellious rock 🔍

In observance of Memorial Day, Alerus Center offices will close at noon on Friday, May 23, and reopen at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, May 28. We honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. Have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend. ❤️🤍💙 For information on upcoming events, visit https://bit.ly/3Jah4NX
