Scoops of the Day

Corgi Races at North Dakota Horse Park 🐾

The event brought smiles and laughter as attendees cheered on the furry competitors. Looking ahead, the next exciting race will feature a “short leg breed battle” where corgis will face off against wiener dogs in a friendly competition to see which pup is the fastest on the track.

Moorhead Schools Referendum Vote 🗳️

Moorhead Area Public Schools is asking voters this fall to approve two levies to help stabilize the budget and support education. One levy would raise $4.37 million yearly for operations, the other $1.5 million for capital projects, both for 10 years. For a median $250,000 home, this could mean a monthly tax increase of about $18.91 and $4.83 starting in 2026. The special election is November 4, with early voting starting September 19.

National Ice Cream Day

National Ice Cream Day Celebrations 🍦

Fargo-Moorhead businesses embraced National Ice Cream Day with lots of excitement and special treats. Scoop n Dough Candy Company in Fargo enjoyed a steady flow of customers all day long, rolling out new merchandise and soaking up the joyful energy of ice cream lovers beating the summer heat. But the celebration wasn’t just for humans — Three Dog Bakery in West Fargo made sure their furry friends got to join in the fun with dog-friendly “ice cream” treats. Since dogs are lactose intolerant, the bakery crafted special scoops using Greek yogurt and honey, blending their most popular bakery flavors into a safe, tasty treat that won’t upset canine stomachs. It was a sweet and thoughtful way to celebrate for both people and pets alike, making National Ice Cream Day a hit across the community.
