A major milestone was reached this week as Fix It Forward donated its 700th vehicle, this time to the Red River Children’s Advocacy Center. The nonprofit auto shop has been serving the Fargo-Moorhead community since 2015, providing free repairs and vehicles to those in need, and this latest donation is expected to make a meaningful impact.

The Children’s Advocacy Center, which supports kids who have experienced abuse or neglect, says the vehicle will help staff reach families in more rural areas who might otherwise struggle to access services. It’s a practical gift with a powerful ripple effect, expanding care beyond city limits and into communities that need it most. For more details, read the full article here.

The Toppers Car Show made its return to the Veterans Memorial Arena in West Fargo, continuing a long-standing tradition that keeps growing year after year. Now in its 66th year, with 33 consecutive shows at the Veterans, the event brought in 71 vehicles from seven states and even one Canadian province, showcasing a wide range of classic cars and craftsmanship.

While the cars drew plenty of attention, organizers say it’s the stories behind them that truly stand out. From family nostalgia to lifelong dreams of owning a classic ride, the connections shared among attendees added a personal touch to the event. The show also featured awards across several categories, with the coveted “Toppers’ Choice” prize earning its winner $800 and a trophy. For more details, read the full article here.

Cleanup Week is just around the corner across Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo, giving residents a chance to clear out yard waste and bulky items the right way. In Moorhead, yard waste drop-off sites are already open, with curbside pickup starting April 20 and brush collection beginning May 4. Cleanup Week for larger items runs during the first two weeks of May, with guidelines on sorting materials, limiting appliances, and properly disposing of hazardous waste through the Clay County Resource and Recovery Center.

Fargo’s Cleanup Week is scheduled for May 4–8 and May 11–15, with items picked up on recycling days. Residents can set out appliances, tires, and brush, but building materials, electronics, and hazardous waste are not accepted at the curb. In West Fargo, cleanup runs May 4–7, with similar rules on sorting and item limits. The city also reminds residents that yard waste must be taken to designated drop-off sites, as it is not collected curbside. No matter where you live, sorting items properly, setting them out on time, and following city guidelines will help everything run smoothly. For more details, read the full article here.

Serving Up Inclusion on the Court 🏓

At Courts and Pints in Moorhead, a new kind of pickleball match is bringing people together in a meaningful way. The Fargo-Moorhead Silent Hands group recently hosted its first community scrimmage, welcoming Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing players to share the court. What started as a small six-week league among friends quickly grew into a larger effort to create a more inclusive and connected community.

On the court, communication looks a little different but works just as effectively. Players rely on eye contact, hand signals, and movement to stay in sync, showing that connection goes far beyond spoken words. Organizers say the nature of pickleball makes it especially accessible, helping bridge communication gaps while keeping everyone engaged. More than just a game, the event highlights the importance of inclusion and challenges perceptions, with one simple message at its core: Deaf individuals can do anything.
