DAVID EBINGER ANNOUNCES RE-ELECTION INTENT
I wish to announce that I will be seeking re-election to the Clay County Board of Commissioners, District 5, in the upcoming general election this November.
Prior to my first term as Commissioner, I had a 40-year career in law enforcement, the last twelve as Chief of Police for the Moorhead Police Department. During my time with MPD, I served seven years on the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association.
As a member of the Clay County Board of Commissioners I represent the interests of the citizens of Clay County on a number of Boards and Committees. Some of these assignments are: board member of the Metro Flood Diversion Authority, trustee for the Lake Agassiz Regional Library Board, executive board member for the Greater Fargo Moorhead EDC, and Chair of the Red River Regional Dispatch Center Board of Authority. I am also a member of the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) and serve as the Vice-Chair of the Public Safety Policy Committee.
I look forward to the opportunity of continuing in public service with a second term on the Board of Commissioners. It has been a privilege to represent the residents of District 5 and to serve all the citizens of Clay County. Thank you for allowing me to serve.

RED RIVER DISCOVERY WALK TRAIL SIGN UNVEILING EVENT
MOORHEAD – Please join Moorhead Parks and Recreation as they unveil signs along the River Corridor on Friday, April 26 at 10:00am. at the Bear Cage located on the path below the River Haven Event Center (700 1 Ave N, Moorhead). Parking will be available at River Haven Event Center.
Moorhead Parks and Recreation along with River Keepers, the Historic and Cultural Society of Clay County and the HDR Foundation are excited to announce The Red River Discovery Walk, an installation of seventeen new interpretive signs along the River Corridor Trail. These signs are designed to provide trail users with a deeper understanding of the human history and natural significance of the Moorhead community.
The signs aim to encourage more people to utilize the Red River Corridor Trail while highlighting the local ecology and historical landmarks. By prompting users to consider the historical events that occurred at each location, these signs foster a greater appreciation for our community’s largest natural resource.
Among the historical highlights featured on the signs are the site of the 1941 Northwest Airlines DC-3 crash, the 1923 Dovre Ski Club ski jump, and the iconic Bear Cage and Zoo of the 1920s and ‘30s. Additionally, the signs explore Native American connections to the Red River and the area’s role in the ice industry.
In addition to the historical content, the signs also delve into the natural history of the Red River, covering topics such as the formation of Lake Agassiz, fish species, and the riparian forest. Written by experts from the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County and River Keepers, the content has been meticulously reviewed to ensure accuracy.
The installation of these interpretive signs marks a significant milestone in the ongoing enhancement of the Red River Corridor Trail. The project is a collaborative effort involving the City of Moorhead, the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County, River Keepers, and the HDR Foundation.
