Saturday was supposed to be the day runners all got together to run the Fargo Marathon. Originally that was supposed to be in May, but it got pushed back, then cancelled all together. But that doesn’t mean those running shoes sat in a dark closet all alone this weekend. The running group I’m part of put on our own…
Here’s a way you can go on a never-ending scavenger hunt and get out of the house during the pandemic. There are these groups that paint rocks and hide them at local parks and public spaces. I follow this group called FargoMoorhead Rocks. They paint the group’s name on the back of the rocks so people can post where…
I’ve been trying to do local exploring to break up things a little while life slows down due to the pandemic. I revisited one of my favorite hidden gems yesterday afternoon, and it’s more beautiful than I even remembered. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time strolling through the stunning gardens at the Northern Plains Botanic Garden Society…
There may be a run on tutoring services this morning from parents struggling with a return to remote learning as the school year gears up again. While some districts are sending the kids back into the classroom, most have revealed backup plans that include hybrid and all-online classes as coronavirus cases fail to come down significantly across the U-S and…
We’re taking a little trip to the wilderness of Alaska. This is Katmai National Park on the Alaskan peninsula in the southwest part of the state. It’s one of the best places in the world to see brown bears fishing for salmon this time of year. If you’ve been watching these social distancing segments, you’ve probably noticed I’m getting…
A talented Fargo performer is putting his own *spin* on raising money for cancer research tonight. World Yo-Yo champion John Narum is the second performer in this month’s “Artists Vs. Cancer” series for the local American Cancer Society. He is performing Yo-Yo tricks starting at 7:30 tonight on Facebook live to raise money for cancer research. He’s performing in honor…
We’ve been looking at ways to get out and about while still social distancing so you don’t feel cooped up in your home all the time. It’s the summer, so that leads us outdoors a lot. That could be as simple as buying a little charcoal grill to cook outside or heading to local park that’s a five minute…
Right now is a great time to get out and do some socially distanced exploring because we’ve got some beautiful guests fluttering their way through the metro. Do you see those things zipping across the road in the video above? Those are all butterflies! Most of them look like monarchs, but they’re likely painted lady butterflies. My girlfriend and…
One of my favorite things to come out of social distancing was the Minnesota State High School League Nickname Challenge. It was a great way to still show off local pride while high school sports have been largely cancelled. Plus, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. The Moorhead Spuds won the tournament. There’s the winning logo! The competition…
It’s an online event so popular in our region they’ve had to add two more just to keep up with demand. And while the next one coming up is already full, you can still get in on the following “Parenting in a Pandemic” session from Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota. The sessions feature live discussion time with LSSND’s licensed…
