Serious Shopping And Fargo doesn’t disappoint when it comes to shopping either. “We've seen a lot of expansion on the retail side,” says Jed Pahan, who is also a Downtown Community Partnership employee. Shoppers can score fabulous finds at Revolver, the city’s only vintage clothing store. Fargo also offers shops such as Zandbroz Variety, Great Northern Bicycles and Orange Records.

More Than Winter Weather Surprised? So was Hahn, who first experienced FargoMoorhead while running a marathon. “I’ve been amazed with what there is to do on a nightly or weekend basis,” he says. “I moved my family here, and we’re all transitioning well.” While Hahn agrees the winters can get pretty chilly, he hopes people understand that there’s a lot more to the city than low temperatures during the winter months. “People think Fargo-Moorhead is this cold place that's kind of off the end of the earth, and it's really not,” he says. “This is a really neat community, and there's a lot to do here.”

Sun&Snow Fargo and Moorhead offer outdoor activities year round

Story By Jessica Mozo

argo has an average of 197 sunny days per year, and that means plenty of opportunities to get outside – even in the winter. Sure, the region gets around 38 inches of snow during the colder months, but that doesn’t keep the locals from enjoying the great outdoors. Sledding and Skiing in Fargo When the temperatures drop in Fargo, winter recreation options begin to heat up. “With all the snow we get, there is so much to do outdoors – sledding hills, groomed ski trails, and a winter chalet with skiing and snowshoeing for starters,” says Clay Whittlesey, director of recreation for the Fargo Park District. “One thing people really enjoy is how we clean all our bike trails in winter. People do a lot of walking on them even when it’s cold. We also have 17 outdoor hockey/skating rinks around town and a number of special events.” One of those events is Fargo’s Annual Youth Ice Fishing Derby, held in February for participants ages 15 and under at South Woodhaven Pond. “The youth get to learn about ice

fishing and the equipment it requires. Then they compete to catch the most fish and get prizes,” says Tammy Fogle, marketing and communications specialist for the Fargo Park District. “There is also a Cross Country Ski Race in January at Edgewood Golf Course and a Family Winter-ific Day that includes horse-drawn sleigh rides, free ski rentals and sledding.” Many special events cater to families, such as the annual Frozen Fantasy semi-formal dance in February at Doublewood Inn and Family Day at the Dike, a sledding party at the Dike West loft area downtown. “Frozen Fantasy is a great opportunity to get out and do something fun with the family. People buy tickets, and there is a DJ, refreshments and photos,” Fogle says. “Family Day at the Dike includes races, sledding, and free hot dogs and pop.” Winter is also a prime time for hunters in Fargo and Moorhead. “I love to hunt and fish, and that’s one reason I’ve stayed in this area all my life,” Whittlesey says. “I hunt duck and deer. Sometimes I’ll hunt for 13 weeks straight.” For indoor fun during the winter months, curling is a popular sport played at the Fargo-Moorhead Curling Club.

Swimming and Golfing in Fargo When warmer weather returns, Fargo and Moorhead residents have even more reasons to play outdoors. The average July high temperature is around 82 degrees, perfect for splashing around in one of the area’s six public swimming pools or teeing off at one of the region’s 13 public golf courses or three private golf courses. Dozens of parks and trails provide even more adventure, including two dog parks where people take their pets for exercise and the Fargo Skate Park, a destination for skateboarders, rollerbladers and bikers. “For my family, these are low-cost, easy-access areas for new adventures, and the trails offer new scenery for walking, safe transportation to parks and places to check out nature,” says Carolyn Boutain, director of cultural activities for the Fargo Park District. “The outdoor pools are each different 18

Fa r g o - M o o r h e a d

and provide variety for my kids, ages 14, 11 and 7. And the parks each have their own personality.” Fargo Festivals and Lakes In June, thousands of people flock to Island Park for Fargo’s annual Midwest Kid Fest, a one-day event that includes free carnival games, entertainment, inflatable bouncers and vendors. Other fun summer events include community block parties, the Downtown Street Fair, the Fargo Birding Festival, Share a Story at Rheault Farm, Summer Movie Nights at Island Park, the Midwest Waterfowl Fest and the Island Park Show, featuring 160 juried arts and crafts booths. Water-lovers can drive just 50 miles east of Fargo and be in the midst of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. “My wife and I love to go pontooning at the lakes in the summer with our five dogs,” Whittlesey says. “We bring along our labrador retriever, two poodles and two rat terriers.”

By the end of the year, the fledgling facility had gained an additional $9.6 million in funding through private-sector contributions and additional grants. “We’ve had tremendous support from all corners of the community,” says center director Satish Chandran, a former biotechnologist at Pfizer Inc. “Economic diversity is a key in creating high-value jobs, and biotech offers that.

he Fargo-Moorhead economy is receiving a shot in the arm through the emergence of vaccine manufacturers and other high-tech industries in the region. A variety of entities, including North Dakota State University’s new Center for Biopharmaceutical Research and Production, as well as the NDSU Research and Technology Park, are helping to attract vaccine companies and related biotechnology firms to the surrounding FargoMoorhead area. “There has been a big move to encourage vaccine manufacturers to locate their plants here,” says Dennis Millirons, president of Sanford Medical Center Fargo, which recently leased a building in the NDSU Research Park. “Major steps have been taken in the local infrastructure to

and discoveries made in our universities are often lost to the East and West coasts. We want to keep them here to be able to sprout companies. These biotechs will hire people from the workforce being generated by our universities. The objective is to create high-paying jobs in the area.” Sanford Health Research also plays a crucial role in the work being done at Sanford Health, a century-old integrated health care system that is headquartered in Fargo and Sioux Falls and is the largest private employer in the state with more than 20,000 employees. In 2007, T. Denny Sanford donated $400 million to Sanford Research, a gift aimed primarily at finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes. “So over the past few years we have started a number of new research programs,” Millirons says. “We’re very excited about the possibilities.” NDSU Research and Technology Park One of Sanford Health’s new facilities will be at the 55-acre NDSU Research Park, which attracts both academia researchers and private-sector companies. As of 2010, the 19 technology businesses affiliated with the Research Park 22

Fa r g o - M o o r h e a d

created nearly 1,500 jobs and brought in approximately $11 million in tax income. The park’s cornerstone tenant is Phoenix International, a John Deere company that occupies a 75,000-square-foot building. Phoenix specializes in the design, development and manufacture of custom, integrated electronics. The company has more than 200 engineers and regularly recruits new employees from the NDSU College of Engineering. Fargo is also home to Microsoft’s second-largest field center. Established in 2001, the facility develops and supports several major software products and houses one of the company’s nine Executive Briefing Centers. In 2009, Microsoft completed a 120,000-square-foot, $70 million expansion to the Fargo campus. It is all part of a movement in the area to look beyond the surrounding farmland and reach out to the global high-tech future. “We’re not just focusing on companies doing business in Fargo-Moorhead. We’re focusing on companies that are doing business worldwide,” says Tony Grindberg, a state senator representing Fargo and the executive director of the NDSU Research Park. “And when you do that, it creates a whole different culture to a community.”

Plenty of Places to Play Recreational Opportunities Include Trails, Parks, Golf and More

argo-Moorhead has plenty of things to do to keep residents active, such as an extensive trail system, many popular parks and recreation facilities, as well as golf courses.

Fargo’s Multi-use Trails In the Fargo-Moorhead area, you don’t have to go far to hit the trails. In many cases, you don’t even need to drive. Fargo maintains 85 miles of scenic paths for walking, running, biking and in-line skating, plus four different cross-country ski trails, including some that utilize public golf courses. The trail system has received regional and national awards, and the city keeps building more trails. In 2008 alone, Fargo finished a 12-foot-wide trail along a drainage canal that eventually will include a bridge connecting to Osgood Park and the last leg of the Red River Trail. This trail runs through Wildflower Grove Park and creates a loop through downtown Fargo and nearby Moorhead, Minn.

Parks and Recreation Facilities In addition to its trails, Fargo-Moorhead offers dozens of other places to keep active. Among them are two public dog parks, Village West and Yunker Farm (with an award-winning children’s museum on-site); three facilities with indoor ice skating for the public; multiple outdoor rinks, with muchappreciated warming houses; indoor and outdoor swimming pools; and a brand new skate park at Dike West.

Golf and Entertainment Centers The area is jam-packed with other attractions. Golf is big here, with multiple public and private courses. The Sports Bubble has an indoor driving range and hosts softball, flag football and golf simulator leagues.

College Sports and Other Spectator Events The teams at North Dakota State University – the Bison – draw big crowds. The region also has the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks baseball and Fargo Force, a junior hockey team that plays in the USHL. And don’t forget New York Yankee Roger Maris is a Fargo native. The museum that traces his career has film footage of his last 12 home runs in 1961, the year he broke Babe Ruth’s record. In addition, West Fargo is home to the Red River Valley Speedway. With a racing season from May to September, spectators can enjoy late model, superstock and modified cars to name a few.

Red River Zoo The Red River Zoo is home to more than 300 animals, including endangered species. In 2008, the zoo celebrated its 10th anniversary with the arrival of seven gray wolf pups, and today they enjoy their own Wolf Awareness Week. Other animals include exotic inhabitants, such as tanuki, east Caucasian tur, white-lipped deer and Pallas cats. – Pamela Coyle i m ag e s fa r g o m o o r h e a d . c o m

Fargo Local Foods Residents who prefer and advocate farm-to-table dining practices can turn to Fargo Local Foods for information on local farmers markets, CSAs, and businesses and restaurants who sell and prepare food using products from area farms and producers. Notable farmers markets in the area include the Fargo Community Farmers Market and the FM Farmers Market. Locally-owned Hornbacher’s supermarkets also are known for carrying a variety of local produce and meats.

Carol Widman’s Candy Company Local fare takes many twists, but Carol Widman’s Candy Company may be the only place in the country that combines chocolate with regional farm crops. Sunflower seeds, soybeans and wheat nuts get covered in chocolaty goodness at this institution run by four generations of Widmans. Even potato chips get this treatment, with milk chocolate, semisweet, peanut butter or white almond options. Roadfood.com hails the concoction, called chippers, as “weirdly addictive.” Widman’s also makes “hot air,” spun molasses covered in chocolate.

Maple River Winery Maple River Winery is a short 20-mile drive west of town, in Casselton, N.D. It opened in 2001 and specializes in making small batches of wine with North Dakota fruit. The array is astonishing: dandelion, apricot, country crabapple and even apple jalapeño pepper, to name just a few. – Pamela Coyle

Relocation Tips

helpful hints for a smooth move One Month Prior Complete a U.S. Postal Service change of address form. Request moving quotes and hire a moving company, or reserve a moving truck for self-moves. Contact the chamber of commerce in your new town and request a relocation package. If you have children, arrange for school paperwork to be transferred to their new school. Change your address with the IRS. Contact your health care providers for records and referrals. Create a floor plan of your new home, and designate where large furniture should be placed.

Two Weeks Prior Transfer your savings and checking accounts to a bank in your new town. Contact your insurance provider about coverage for your new home and referrals for a new local agent. Contact utility companies to set the date for disconnecting current services and establishing services at your new address. Purchase or gather packing and moving supplies, such as boxes, packing tape, markers and newspapers. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget rope or twine and blankets to secure and protect large furniture.

One Week Prior Close your existing bank accounts, if needed, transferring money to your new accounts and reserving cash or travelers checks for the move. Use as much of your food items for home meals as possible, so there will be less to move. Confirm the date and time commitment for the move with any friends who are assisting you.

Pack vital paperwork in one container, such as birth certificates, passports, medical and tax documents.

The Day Before Defrost, clean and air out your refrigerator. Clean your stove. Ensure you have payment for your mover set aside. Prepare simple breakfast and pack a cooler of ice and beverages for moving day. Make sure all keys to your former house are together.

Moving Day Remove and pack your bedding. Provide movers with a quick tour of your home and provide them a copy of the inventory you prepared. Ensure they have the correct address to your new home, your phone number, and confirm the date and time of delivery. Do a thorough sweep through the house after the movers have exited, checking all closets, cupboards and similar small spaces. Complete any necessary cleaning of your former residence. Make sure all doors and windows to your former home are locked.

Welcome to Your Home If necessary, install new door locks. Do any light cleaning necessary prior to the moversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival.

From Our Photo Blog: Fargo-Moorhead The Hjemkomst Center houses two very awesome works of craftsmanship. The first is the Hjemkomst, a Viking Ship constructed by a local man, Bob Asp. The story behind this ship and its construction brought tears to my eyes. For more on Bob and the Hjemkomst, go to www. hcscconline.org, or better yet, go to the Hjemkomst Center in Moorehead. The second feat of craftsmanship is a Norwegian Stave Church (pictured on page 44) that was built by Guy Paulson. This church is constructed of cedar, redwood and pine, and it is truly an awe-inspiring work of art. Posted by antony boshier
