Scoops of the Day
Ringing in Holiday Hope 🔔
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign is officially back in the Fargo-Moorhead area, kicking off another season of generosity and community spirit. The familiar red kettles are now set up at local businesses, giving shoppers a chance to support families in need through cash, coins, or checks. This year also brings a tech-friendly upgrade, with QR codes and “Tip Tap” devices available at Scheels and the Northport Hornbacher’s for quick digital giving.
Beyond donations, the organization is inviting the community to get involved by volunteering as bell ringers or sponsoring a kettle location. With the funds supporting crucial programs throughout the holiday season and beyond, every ring and every gift helps fuel their mission. For more details, read the full article here.
Sliding Into Fun at Slick City 🎢
Fargo’s newest indoor action park, Slick City, is gearing up to open its doors on November 14, and it’s already shaping up to be a major attraction for thrill-seekers of all ages. Located on Jacks Way S, the park brings a lineup of high-energy features, including air courts, play zones, and a variety of indoor slides designed for everything from friendly races to full-on adrenaline rushes. Standout attractions like The Fast Lane, The Rush, and the heart-pounding Mega Launch promise plenty of excitement from the moment visitors walk in.
With long North Dakota winters limiting outdoor fun, Slick City arrives at the perfect time, offering a climate-controlled escape for families, friend groups, and anyone craving a little adventure. From holiday outings to weekend gatherings, it’s expected to become a go-to spot for indoor entertainment throughout the season. For more details, read the full article here.
Local Love on Display at the Small Business Expo 🎁
The holiday shopping rush is officially underway, and Love Your Local is encouraging shoppers to keep their dollars close to home. Their seventh Small Business Expo filled the Hilton Garden Inn with more than 60 vendors offering everything from handmade apparel to collectibles to warm, fresh-baked cookies. Seasonal touches added to the festive mood, with Santa greeting guests and SheyWest bringing in live Christmas trees to brighten the space.
Organizers say this time of year is especially meaningful for small businesses, reminding shoppers that local owners are often the first to step up when the community needs support. The event gave attendees the rare chance to meet business owners face-to-face, learn their stories, and take home one-of-a-kind items. As a bonus, visitors could also enter for a chance to win tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s December 30 show at the Fargodome. For more details, read the full article here.

A Sundae of Giving
Warm Hearts on Cold Streets ❄️
As winter settles in, Celebrate U Outreach Ministry is making sure Fargo’s homeless community feels both warmth and compassion. Led by Jesse Bommersbach, the Perham-based group spends Saturdays handing out winter care bundles packed with essentials like cold-weather sleeping bags, hats, scarves, gloves, and even a warm slice of pizza. Bommersbach’s own past experiences with homelessness fuel his mission, and he hopes these small acts of care open the door to bigger conversations about healing and recovery.
The ministry’s efforts go far beyond physical supplies. Each bundle includes a Life Recovery Bible, a $10 McDonald’s gift card, and resources for treatment programs and local churches. Volunteers like Jermaine Washington say the reactions from those they meet have been overwhelmingly positive, reminding them how meaningful simple kindness can be. Celebrate U will be back in Fargo on November 22 as they continue offering help, hope, and human connection. For more details, read the full article here.
