A HISTORIC DAY FOR NORTH DAKOTA

Today, North Dakota’s 34th Governor Kelly Armstrong and Lt. Gov. Michelle Strinden were sworn into office, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for the state.


You’re invited to help us continue the celebration together in just a couple of weeks at the Inaugural Ball of Governor Kelly Armstrong at the Bismarck Event Center!


Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring:

  • Live music by Beni Paulson and Breaking Eight

  • Delicious hors d'oeuvres from local North Dakota chefs that all feature a nod to America’s favorite pastime in honor of Governor Armstrong’s roots as a baseball coach

  • Raising money and collecting donations for the North Dakota FFA Foundation and Great Plains Food Bank.


It’s our goal to raise over $250,000 for these amazing charities and pack Great Plains Food Bank’s BIGGEST semi-truck full of non-perishable food items. We NEED your help - so secure your tickets today!


This is a black-tie event and free to attend, but RSVP is required. Tickets are limited so don’t wait!
