Scoops of the Day

Get ready for a day of excitement as the 26th annual Midwest Kid Fest returns to Island Park this Friday, June 13, from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. The fun kicks off with a teddy bear parade and continues with kid-friendly activities like games, crafts, a petting zoo, and sensory play by Leika Sensory Creations. Local businesses and organizations will be on hand with interactive booths, and a full lineup of live entertainment—including DJs, dancers, science shows, and a Winnie-the-Pooh performance—will keep the energy high all day long.

Homeward Shelter Needs Adopters 🐶

Homeward Animal Shelter in Fargo is packed to the brim, with dogs even housed in hallway crates, and they’re urgently asking the community for help. Adoption rates are too low to keep up with the number of rehoming requests, and without support, some dogs face serious risk. The shelter takes in pups from local pounds to save them from euthanasia—a mission that’s helped prevent any adoptable dogs from being put down in the FM area since 2009. If you’re thinking about adopting or fostering, now’s the time. For more details, read the full article here.

Sheri Anderson, associate vice president for strategic research initiatives at NDSU, has been selected as one of only eight national COR Fellows by the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities.

Local Help Sends Fargo Girl to Elite Hockey Camp 🏒

After years of family hardship, West Fargo hockey standout Kaliyah Mattila is heading to an elite camp in Nevada — thanks to a generous donation from Window World of Fargo. Kaliyah was selected last year but couldn’t attend due to her father’s declining health and medical bills. This year, the local business stepped up to make sure finances weren’t a barrier again.

Now with her dad on the road to recovery, Kaliyah is chasing big goals — from college recruitment to a future pro career. Window World says they hope their gift inspires other businesses to help local families in need. For more details, read the full article here.
