Happy In Fargo 3-12-25
The Tell, Class AA State BBall, Ice Revue, Fargo Film Festival & More

March 12, 2025 Edition
One of my favorite events of the year, the Fargo Film Festival, starts starts on Tuesday 3/18. I encourage you to check out the schedule/program to spend an evening, morning, afternoon, or all day watching films. I’m most looking forward to “The Long Run” on Wed night that features some talent originally from our area. The doc “Speak” on Tue night, which follows five of the nation’s top teenage speech competitors, includes a Moorhead student. Saturday night is “The Breakfast Club with Molly Ringwald”, with tix available through Jade Presents for that event.
You have to wonder if Mother Nature may have different plans for Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, so look for updates on that before showing up.
So Many Activities!
