We'll have a chocolate fountain with dip-ables, and trivia prizes like chocolates, roses and honey (for your honey) [Thanks to KD Floral and Gardens, Chocolates Plus, Bar Bell Bee Ranch, Harmony Food Co-op and Lueken's Village Foods]. But mainly, we'll have the answer to, "What is KBXE?" plus a really good time.If you're interested in helping spread the word about KBXE, let us know! There are committees you can join and there is plenty of work to be done. The KBXE Publicity Committee meets Thursday, February 4 at 5:30 at the former People's Natural Gas building at 2nd and Minnesota, downtown Bemidji.
