Scoops of the Day

Running Through the Haze 💨

Despite smoky skies from Canadian wildfires, runners turned out in force for the Fargo Marathon weekend. Health officials warned participants to take it slow and be cautious, especially those with respiratory issues like asthma. Organizers urged runners to consider shorter distances, and medical tents were set up every two miles. Some athletes said they were used to hazy conditions and ran without issue. For more details, read the full article here.

RedHawks Step Up to the Plate for Public Service ❤️💙

Tonight, the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks are trading their usual uniforms for something extra meaningful. During their Salute to Service night on June 3, the team will wear custom red and blue jerseys featuring logos from several local public service organizations. It’s a tribute to the everyday heroes who keep Fargo running strong.

After the game, the jerseys will be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting the United Way of Fargo. It’s a great chance to support a good cause—and maybe even take home a one-of-a-kind piece of RedHawks gear. For more details, read the full article here.

350 Trees and Counting 🌳

Moorhead saw a wave of green last week as volunteers teamed up to plant 350 trees along the Red River as part of the “Reforest the Red” initiative. Organized by River Keepers, the effort aims to combat erosion, improve water quality, and create a healthier ecosystem for both people and wildlife.

Tree varieties like Elm, Hackberry, Burr Oak, and Kentucky Coffeetree were planted with the help of dozens of community members. River Keepers Executive Director Christine Holland called it a “feel-good event” where volunteers can see the impact of their work right away. Interested in helping next time? There’s already a call for future volunteers. For more details, read the full article here.
