The city’s population ventured to Broadway in Fargo, creating a sea of green attire and “Kiss me, I’m Irish” t-shirts. The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Fargo was held…
During one of our long bus rides on choir tour we watched the movie “The Help.” I hadn’t seen it before, and unfortunately halfway through the movie I fell asleep. It was not because the movie was boring, but because the bus ride was about 7 hours long. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed,…
