The Downtown Fargo Burger Royale competition is running through 6/30. Over the month, try any/many of the 18 different burgers at area restaurants, and vote for your favorite. The website has photos & descriptions of each burger.
This pic below is a nice representation to show the various tastebud goodies you can find at Moonrise Cafe. Aside from the drinks, I’ve partook many times on their soups, breakfast sandwich & burrito and variety of excellent pastries, and also ordered a custom cake.

Nice of Parachigo to host the New In Town: New Friend Meet-Up on 6/26.
Shout-outs & Shameless Plugs
Kudos to promoters like Jade Presents, who are bringing a crap ton of shows to the area, especially this summer. Seems like a new announcement every couple of days. Many are at the new outdoor venue UP District Festival Field, but also at other great venues like The Hall At Fargo Brewing, Fargo Theatre, Sanctuary, Bluestem, The Lights & more. Peek at the Save The Date below for many of those added shows.
A plug for all the great info shared via Fargo Mom. Check out their website & socials.
Well That’s Interesting
Get out and vote in ND on Tuesday 6/11, or also between 6/4-6/8 if early voting is more convenient.
Project 412 is hosting a pitch competition for entrepreneurs in the Detroit Lakes area. Finalists will pitch their ideas to judges and a live audience in a 12-minute presentation. The winners will share cash prizes up to $5,500. Apply by 6/7.
Not like much of anyone are one it, but we also have a Threads account. This platform doesn’t have the neat icon to show that, so here it is - THIS, RIGHT HERE, CLICK IT.
