Grand Forks has it's first "viral" video. At least, it seems viral compared to the population of Grand Forks and how quickly it generated views. 

Local videographer Megan Kienas created the attached tourism video for the contest "Show Off Grand Forks" hosted by Les Johnson -- known for Grand Forks TV (GFTV). 

Kienas video is 4:55 minutes long and was published on YouTube on Jan. 25. In the three days since it was published, it has recieved almost 3,000 views. Pretty impressive considering Grand Forks has a population of just under 4,000. 

So far, Kienas is the only entrant for the contest.
