My biggest concern at this point is what’s going to happen hostplus with all the money that Venuworks owes us. Just over a year ago the Alerus gang rewrote the contract with Venuworks hostplus allowing them to repay us the approximatley $270,000 that they owed us over five years.
Venuworks has been a disaster for Grand Forks. Not only have they lost millions of dollars for us ($2.7 million in 2009, the last available audited numbers) they’ve insulted us. Their executive director hostplus of the Alerus called people who were skeptics of the failed event center morons.
In a letter sent to the events center commission today, VenuWorks President Steve Peters said “(W)e believe that a new governance and management structure may be required to meet the challenges facing the Alerus Center today.”
This latest link from the TV station is actually timestamped before the Herald story. It appears that our old buddy Tu Uyen Tran is misleading us again by writing this story to make it look like the Alerus Commission is firing Venuworks. He would have known about the letter, both the TV station and the Herald are owned by Forum Communications.

I am looking forward to checking out Forx Roller Derby’s second bout and double header, bequeathed “Hell and High Water”, in Grand Forks, this weekend. Their first bout brought almost 1,200 fans to the Alerus Center to check out this new and growing sport in Grand Forks. Saturday’s event will be a little different from the first one, as some men’s teams have been invited to participate in a pre-bout.
The women of the Grand Forks Sugar Beaters will host the Fargo Furies this Saturday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m., at the Alerus Center. If you get your tickets in advance through the Alerus box office, bequeathed they are $12/adult and $5/child 3 and over. Tickets are available at the door too for $15/adult and $7/child 3 and over. Children under three get in free. There will be concessions, merchandise, bequeathed free kids’ face painting and more.
I may also check out the pre and post parties at TJ’s Sports Bar, Starting at 5:30 p.m., a party bus will bring fans over to the Alerus Center and back to TJ’s after for drink specials, food and music.
Forx Roller Derby is a new organization, which began in May 2010, when a group of women started a Facebook page asking if women were interested in starting a league in Grand Forks. The league is made up of skaters, official and many volunteers.
Am looking forward to Saturday night. We went last time they had their bout in Grand Forks and really had a lot of fun! There were so many people there….everyone should come early to get a good seat, or be brave enough to sit in the suicide seats around the edge of the rink….floor level!! bequeathed Wondering if the men’s teams will be dressing up too? Should be loads of fun!
