LIVE: 30 Looks Good on You: The Anniversary of the ADA

A milestone weekend under our belts leaves the Americans with Disabilities Act with much more to look forward to.

Hard to believe, but only thirty years ago this Sunday, America’s biggest minority group had very little in the way of protection when it came to being discriminated against. We’re talking about people with disabilities. Not the minority you expected to hear about, right? Even today, people with disabilities are often seen as a sort of invisible minority. But a…

LIVE: Joyfest Takes Over Island Park

It's a big park -- perfect for a big mission: to get people feeling good again.

It’s been a long, slow spring and summer. And as the cancellations keep rolling in, it leaves people in the region with fewer and fewer public events to look forward to — and that can really drag your mood down. But this weekend, Island Park may give you a little respite from that. Community organizers are inviting us to “Joyfest”…

Pet Connection: Meet Elm

A dog whose spirit is as big as her namesake.

Here in the Fargo metro area, we love our beautiful elm tree canopy that graces the city’s oldest boulevards and walkways. And Elm is a dog who’s just as beautiful as they are. She comes to this week’s Pet Connection from the wonderful volunteers at 4 Luv of Dog rescue. She’s a little over a year old, a pit bull…

Social Distancing: That Perfect Pour

While Taprooms Stay Closed Or Have Limited Capacity, How Do You Get That Perfect Pour At Home?

  I’m getting away for a couple days and heading out of town. It’s time to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and possibly have a beer or two. I’ve been supporting local breweries during the pandemic. They all had to close their taprooms at some point, and some remain closed. But you can always grab some offsale. Which leads me to…

LIVE: Swift Welcome For Red River Zoo’s Newest Additions

Zoo Welcomed Three Female Swift Foxes This Week

It was a swift turnaround getting the Red River Zoo’s newest additions on display. Three Swift Foxes only arrived Monday night, but you can already enjoy their antics in their new home.

Bear Sighting in Becker County

The bear is fuzzy; the video is not.

A visitor gave a homeowner *paws* in Becker County. Anne-Marye Hastad Hoban shared this video on Facebook. A leisurely bear meandering up to her home on White Earth Bay around 10:15 Monday night. The big furry lug bear-ly made a fuss. Hoban guesses the bear was doing what bears do: looking for food. She wrote “Out for a stroll and…

Social Distancing: Camping Tips

You Give Me Your Camping Tips As I Plan A Social Distance Vacation

  I’ve been trying to come up with some socially distanced vacation ideas. I settled on camping. I went camping all the time when I was a kid. But it’s been a while so I needed to re-stock up on pretty much everything I need. So I asked you for some ideas. Thanks for the advice, guys. Sue wrote, “Unless…

LIVE: Home is Where the He(Art) Is

After being stuck at home all these months, a new art exhibit shows us why there's really no place like it.

A new show with a fresh perspective on the place we call home is open for the first time since the pandemic struck, at the Nemeth Art Center in the heart of lakes country. The show, called “Of Course, Where Else” highlights the work of Minnesota and North Dakota-based artists. It gives new interpretations of our upper Midwestern homes at…
