LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Tina

I wish they all could be California girls.

If you saw this pretty girl hanging out hitchhiking on the side of the road somewhere in California, you’d probably give her a ride, too.

LIVE: Bike Sharing The Red’s Geology

The Fargo metro’s bike share company is setting…

Melinda’s Garden: Broccoli Flowers

A broccoli by any other name would smell as sweet, but not without a flower on it.

Broccoli can be a divisive vegetable. You either love it or you’ve never had it roasted with a sprinkle of olive oil, garlic and sea salt on top. Even if you don’t hate broccoli, you might come to hate it if all the broccoli you planted in your veggie garden failed to set flowers — the part of the plant…

National Donut Day

The Salvation Army's rolling out the donut troops (and the dough while they're at it).

Lines are stretching down Broadway in downtown Fargo, and that’s for one reason and one reason only – National Donut Day. Year after year, donut makers fry up batch after batch for the big celebration, and at Sandy’s Donuts in downtown, a dollar from each dozen goes to support the Fargo Salvation Army. That’s because the Salvation Army and donuts…

LIVE: Kitten Shower

Good thing they always land on their feet.

Kitten season has hit hard and fast in the region, and the wave of kitties they’re swimming in at the shelter has given new meaning to the phrase “raining cats and dogs.” Right now there are 29 kittens…
