Scoops of the Day

Icelandic Flavors Set to Land Downtown 🥣

A new grab and go spot called So+Lo’s is preparing to open March 12 at 629 First Ave. N in downtown Fargo, introducing Icelandic inspired cuisine to the area. Owner Jen Nelson says the idea came after a trip to Iceland, where she reconnected with her heritage and fell in love with the country’s traditional food culture. A featured menu item will be Skyr, a thick cultured dairy product that’s a staple in Iceland, with recipes rooted in authentic preparations still used today.

Her husband, Chris Nelson, is leading the culinary side, crafting fresh soups, sandwiches, and other quick options alongside the Icelandic specialties. Ingredients will be locally sourced, and the space will also highlight Jen’s ceramic artistry, with handmade dishes and utensils adding a creative touch to the dining experience.

Turning Snow into a Canvas ❄️🎨

Fresh snowfall across Fargo Moorhead became the perfect backdrop for creativity as Play in Open Spaces hosted a Paint the Snow Party at Viking Ship Park. Families were invited to use a variety of paints, from watercolors on icy patches to powdered colors tossed into the air, transforming the winter landscape into a vibrant work of art.

Organizers say the event highlights nature based, environmentally friendly fun that encourages kids to explore and create outdoors. And the creativity won’t stop when the snow melts. The group is already planning a mud sculpture event once spring arrives, proving there’s always a new season to get messy and make memories.

Bison Basketball Brings Home the Regular Season Crown 🦬🏀

Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams at North Dakota State University clinched the Summit League regular season title Saturday, locking in No. 1 seeds for the upcoming conference tournament. The men secured their spot after a win over Kansas City, finishing 23-6 overall and 13-1 in league play. Bracket projections currently place the Bison as a potential 14 seed in the NCAA Tournament, with Selection Sunday set for March 15.

On the women’s side, history was made. The Bison earned at least a share of their first ever Summit League regular season title and secured the No. 1 tournament seed for the first time since moving to Division I. Their 23 game win streak is one of the longest active streaks in the nation and the longest in league history. With the Summit League Tournament tipping off March 4, both programs are heading into postseason play with serious momentum.
