FARGO — By now you’ve probably been to a few Halloween parties, or maybe you’re throwing one and dreading cleaning the house before the guests come over. So this Ghoul Morning, Emily and Adam decided to help you out. They’re building a Halloween prop that cleans up for you. Of course, it does leave a lot of fairy dust along…
Wednesday is National Pumpkin Day! Pumpkin carving is a day that dates back centuries ago to the British Isles. National Geographic reports that in those days, people didn’t carve pumpkins in autumn. Instead, they’d hollow out turnups to use as lanterns, because metal lanterns were so expensive. Here in the U.S., people kept up with the tradition, and it…
For this Ghoul Morning, we’re trying our hand at a little upcycling to move our Halloween decorations from mass-produced, to authentically old and creepy. We decided to try to create a “haunted mirror” effect on a old antique frame, using some craft paint and some imagination. The toughest part was finding a photo frame, but after some time searching, Emily…
We’ve met her in her studio for an earlier Ghoul Morning. Now, Fargo-based artist Tinker, whose real name is Ashley Rieck, is joining us in ours. And she’s bringing the magic with her. Rieck is turning her creative forces on zip ties and transforming them into a dramatic costume crown. And the great thing is — since most of us…
The witching hour is almost upon us, and that means it’s time to finish up our spooky spellbook upcycling project to see if it’s worth all the trouble. The magic spell calls for an old textbook, some plastic toys and a touch of paint. Subtract any real painting talent or expertise, and add a dash of enthusiasm… and you get…
If you’re a dedicated Halloween haunter whose decorating instincts have been stymied by this season’s supply-chain woes, you’re not alone. Halloween decor has been scarce in local stores, and the big day is almost here. Fortunately, the Morning Show is here to help. If you can’t buy your Halloween decor, why not try making it, instead? Armed with way too…
WEST FARGO, N.D.– During most of the year, Bonanzaville is the host of 41 buildings that visitors can explore to learn more about North Dakota history, but on Saturday, it was the host of hundreds of people, lots of candy, and spooky decorations. “For the first annual it was a big surprise, but we are very happy with how many…
FARGO, N.D.– The West Fargo Library is sharing the Halloween spirit with members of the community. Families showed up to Tintes Park where they were met by library staff in costumes who were ready to hand out treats. Instead of the usual candy, kids received coloring pages and activities to do at home. The library also hosted a raffle as…
The name alone sounds forbidding. Chocolate mousse is pretty widely considered one of the most alluringly sinful desserts around, but while a lot of us enjoy eating it, many of us have never tried it before. And when you consider the spooky factor of the cemetery, plus construction of a hand-lettered sugar cookie coffin and those delicate little fondant decorations…
By now, you’ve probably watched the first part of our Nichole’s Ghost Ganache Layer Cake and thought to yourself, “This isn’t so bad. I could pull that off.” And then you realize that the cute little meringue ghosts on top are made of a combination of hot sugar syrup and whipped egg whites in a seven-minute frosting recipe, and you…
