Area Woman

From The Editor

It happened. We've all been talking about it since January, and it finally happened. Spring arrived. We have made it through the annual hibernation. Feel free to emerge from your stuffy dens and roam about. Greet those neighbors whose faces you haven't seen in a few months. Take out your garbage without donning your parka. Roll out the grill and fire it up! Let's make the most of the long, warm days ahead.

There are many ways to get out and about as you transition from winter to spring. Check out the Events Calendar for a host of activities and events for the whole family. It's a great time of year to be in the Fargo/ Moorhead area!

The Fargo/Moorhead area is teaming with unique events and activities in the next few months. Peruse the calendar to find things that interest you. Be sure to read about the Celebration of Women and Their Music, the upcoming Junk Market event, and the Fargo Marathon in this edition of Area Life.

Note: All events are subject to change. Confirm dates and times before attending.
