about projects and points of view with like-minded change-makers, monthly. Plus, a little sweet treat and caffeine never hurt! Jasper’s vision of supporting local art and creating spaces for communities to gather parallels that of CreativeMornings—the partnership was only natural.
Q: This may be an impossible question but, what is your personal favorite event to attend in the FM area, and why?
A: Hands down, The Fargo
Theatre’s presentation of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Every year around Halloween, this cult classic is revived before sold-out audiences all dressed in true camp fashion. Sitting in this historic, art deco movie theater, snacking on classic boxed m&m’s and popcorn, and watching as the most random props are thrown about the room is unlike any other night-out one could have in Fargo.

A: I wasn’t born in Fargo, but
when I’m asked, Fargo is absolutely my hometown. I grew up in Boise, Idaho, but moved here in 2010 and quickly fell in love with this place. Being engaged in the community has shown me aspects of my city that I would not have otherwise seen beyond a surface-level glance, whether it’s in the people I've met, the memories I’ve made, or the one-of-a-kind experiences I have had in one-of-a-kind spaces. The wildest part is that there are still amazing spots on my list that I haven’t visited yet!

YOU NEED A BREAK FROM THE BUSY? "When I’m looking to unwind, I pick up my camera and take a walk downtown or to a nearby local park for a hobby photography session (emphasis on hobby). Downtown Fargo is very architecturally intriguing and makes for a great subject that never gets old. When I'm done, I'll stop into a space like Youngblood to enjoy an almond milk matcha latte and edit—just for fun!"
YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR A GOOD TIME? "My friends and I have nailed down our good-time routine recently, and the formula is simple. The first stop is at Pounds for a delicious bite to eat either on the patio or in their very aesthetic dining room. After that, stop by Drekker for a craft beer—they always have something unique on tap! Beer is something I’ve only recently come around to, and it's solely because of the atmosphere I get to enjoy while sipping on one at Drekker."

A classic cosmopolitan.
"It truly depends on who this someone special is, but a place nearby that makes for a great, intimate conversation is Harold’s On Main. This cozy, midcentury modern lounge serves excellent craft cocktails and notably does not have a single TV on its walls which adds to its already phenomenal, moody lighting."

YOU NEED TO GET STUFF DONE? "This may seem biased, but the premier space to get creative or productive is in Jasper Hotel’s Lounge and Lobby. This space was meticulously styled to blend high design with midwestern comfort, and it shows. Sitting in front of the fire at a long, communal table sets you up for a great meeting or solo-work session, and if you’re marathoning your work day, you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner there from the delicious Rosewild restaurant!"
