WEST FARGO — Laural Litchfield is all ready for Easter weekend. She even made a stop at the beauty shop at Eventide Sheyenne Crossings.
It has been a year of change, but with more visitor restrictions eased, her day was brightened with a visit from two kids she absolutely adores.
Litchfield was born and raised in Gwinner, North Dakota and came to Fargo in the 1950s. She's always been a bit of a trailblazer. She even "Stumped the Band" on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson". While she has no children, her close friends do and they are like family to her.
When 8-year-old Emma and 4-year-old Linkoln showed up to shower her with love after a year without hugs, it was an emotional reunion.
"I think this is so pretty. I am just so honored. I just love these kids," Litchfield said.
