Happy In Fargo 3-19-25
Hi there

March 19, 2025 Edition
One of my favorite events of the year, the Fargo Film Festival, started yesterday. 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” tonight that features some talent originally from our area. I’m also hoping to catch “The Day Iceland Stood Still” this afternoon, a doc about when 90% of Iceland’s women walked off the job & out of their homes one day in 1975 in a fight towards gender equality. Saturday night is “The Breakfast Club with Molly Ringwald”, with tix available through Jade Presents for that event.
So Many Activities!
