EagleRidge Development by Rachelle Gordon
Are you looking for a new apartment, condo, or townhome in the Fargo/ Moorhead area? The team at EagleRidge Development is ready to help you find the perfect home for you and your family. Their dedication to community and quality yet affordable housing means you’re sure to find your new home, sweet home. With over 50 years of combined experience, EagleRidge properties stand the test of time.
THE EAGLERIDGE DIFFERENCE Designers and developers at EagleRidge pride themselves in being able to maximize the square footage in each unit and offer the best dollar per square foot. They offer high value and quality in order for residents to feel like their rental isn’t just an apartment, it’s a home. “We aren’t just building apartments, townhomes, villas, or single family developments, we are building communities,” explained EagleRidge representative Abbey Benson. “That’s why we have started having events for our residents and why we have added amenities, such as onsite gyms and playgrounds. We want our residents to feel safe and welcomed, and we think that if we encourage our residents to build a community that is connected, we can achieve that.”
SHADOW CREST TOWNHOMES - A NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR MODERN FAMILIES This summer, the Shadow Crest Townhomes came onto the market. They are 7-plex townhomes with 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. “These townhomes are unique to the Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo area – you almost have to walk into one to truly understand just how different they are,” said Benson. “They are luxury and in the perfect location – right off of Veterans Boulevard. They all have a private entrance, an attached garage, large walk in closets, a walk out patio or balcony, central heating and cooling, and stainless steel appliances. We currently have two units staged (one 1-bedroom and one 3-bedroom) by Monica Hart Interior Design.” Benson added that there are currently two specials being offered for Shadow Crest: with an 18-month lease, residents can pick out an accent wall and a backsplash. With any lease that is 13-month or longer, they receive 1 month free.

MOORHEAD PROUD! by Jamee Larson
Many towns across the nation have celebrations during the summer. Not all of them, however, include an abundance of activities held over the course of an entire week. Great Moorhead Days (GMD) dates
One reason GMD has maintained its popularity is the festival planners’ willingness to keep events fresh and new. According to Wangler, this year will see a variety of traditional events, such as:
back to 1951, although there have been several name changes and periods of dormancy. What hasn’t changed, however, is the sense of pride and exuberance that makes the event such a success year after year. According to the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County, the festival began in 1951 when concerned Moorhead businessmen
The ever popular Pancake Feed Wings & Wheels Fly In & Car Show, including youth airplane rides Midco Kids Fest featuring Penny and Pals, inflatable games, a petting zoo, clowning, a play-do station, kite flying and more
wanted to find a way to drive Fargo shoppers over the bridge to Moorhead. As the festival plans began taking shape, Moorhead leaders were skeptical. Eventually, they approved Greater Moorhead Week (as it was called then), expecting the five-day event to fail. That first festival included a free pancake feed, cooking school conducted by University of Minnesota home economists, a style show, a flower show, a special farmers' day, a sportsmen's show, essay contest for school kids and regular drawings for over $10,000 in donated gifts, including a new 1951 Ford automobile. The event was a huge success, bringing an estimated 20,000 people to Moorhead. All totaled, those visitors spent over $650,000. Despite
Medallion Hunt I Spy Photo Contest
The event will also see many new events, including: A Welcome Back Students Night on the First Avenue North Bridge that will include music by The Johnny Holm Band and a variety of food trucks The Flatlander FM Rotary Ride that will include activities at Miracle Field. All proceeds will go to Gigi's Playhouse and Down Syndrome Achievement Center Heritage Garden & Amphitheater Grand Opening at Woodland Park that includes food trucks, a movie, and music by the Lake Agassiz Concert Band
the festival’s accomplishments, support for the event began to diminish over the next couple of decades. Fortunately, Moorhead leaders resurrected the celebration on an annual basis in 2004, changing the focus from retail to the art, cultural, and recreation opportunities in Moorhead.
Remembering 9/11event on the Memorial Bridge, hosted by the Vietnam Veterans of America - Chapter 941 Sidewalk Art and Poetry Readings at the Rourke Art Gallery Moorhead Farmers Market at Moorhead Center Mall
One of the most popular events is the GMD Parade. According to Kim Wangler, Recreation Specialist with Moorhead Parks and Recreation,
A Treasure Hunt, Bike Parade, and Kite Flying activity added to the Kids Fest
the parade typically includes up to 75 floats. The Moorhead High School Marching Band, Fire Trucks, and Big Equipment are always highlights. Of

course, for most kids, the highpoint of any parade is the candy.
Everyone is invited. “Come out and experience Moorhead and take part in many of the festivities planned,” Wangler invited.

United: Every generation has a moment that helps define who they are. For people in my father’s generation, that was the day President Kennedy was shot. For my generation, that moment is likely the events of 9/11. Of course, people of all ages will forever remember that fateful day, but for those just entering adulthood, that day became a part of our identity.

The show features seven actors playing 53 different roles. “The show is performed as a staged reading and introduces the audience to the passengers and crew on Flight 93 before going into the conversations between the passengers and the people on the ground,” David explained. “The lines are supplemented with time-stamped slides in the background helping illustrate the chronology of events surrounding Flight 93.”
the Heroes of Flight 93 by Jamee Larson
The motivation for the show came after David and Shanara visited the Flight 93 National Memorial after watching one of David’s awardwinning plays performed in 2009. “After visiting the site, I did more research on Flight 93 and thought this was a story that needed to be told,” he said. “It is one of the lesser known stories of 9/11, but an incredible story about how the passengers prevented their plane from hitting another target.” The ability of the passengers and crew to come together to protect unsuspecting strangers is what stood out to David. “It’s amazing to see how these people from different races and generations came together as one on that fateful day to accomplish the goal of keeping other people safe,” he said. David does not recognize this group of people at the exclusion of the many heroes that emerged that day. “I think we need to remember the

sacrifices that first responders made on 9/11. They put everyone else’s lives before their own,” he said. “I think it’s also a time for family and friends to come together and remember their loved ones and show the world that we can persevere through bad times and we can pick each other up and be stronger together.” “United: The Heroes of Flight 93” will play at the Stage at Island Park in Fargo from September 8 – 11.

That’s not as easy of an answer. “I don’t have just one favorite, but some of them are Shellac, the Murder City Devils, Built to Spill, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and Hammerhead Oland hasn’t witnessed the decline of vinyl and certainly doesn’t believe that vinyl is dead. “If anyone’s saying that it probably reps for iTunes, Spotify, or parents trying to talk their kids out of buying that $30 21 Pilots records,” he said. “It’s a small part of record sales, but

vinyl sales keep rising…slowly.”
n 1930, RCA Victor presented the world with its first commercially available long-playing vinyl record. Although the record was largely
a bust, it did give the industry an alternative to records made of shellac, or wax. During WWII, when supplies of shellac were limited, Columbia Records revisited the technology. On June 21, 1948, Columbia Records released the first 12” Long-Play (LP) 33 ½ rpm microgroove record. The rest, as they say, is music history.
Further into Fargo, you will come across Vinyl Giant, owned by Aaron Swinkels. Vinyl Giant is the newest player in the area’s retail music scene, having opened its door only a year ago. “We started as a culmination of an antique store and a record store,” he explained. “I’ve always wanted to own a record store and there was

it would make sense that music lovers have stepped even further away from vinyl. Interestingly, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Matt Oland has been the owner of Fargo’s Orange Records since July of 2007. “At that time there was only one place in Fargo selling new vinyl,” he said.

As if that wasn’t enough, the store also repairs vintage equipment, including anything from the intro to advanced systems. “We are the only place in town that services turntables.” Like Oland, Swinkels’ taste in music is varied. “I’m a huge Wilco fan and I love Prince,” he said. “I put all of my records into the store except my Prince albums. I have one of the rarest prince albums to exist on display in my store.” Swinkels also agrees that vinyl is anything but dead. “Sales have surpassed what they were doing in 1984, they can’t print them (records) fast enough,” he said. “The average age of someone in my store is impossible to put your finger on; we see anyone from a 70year old man to kids on bicycles.” Every dollar Vinyl Giant makes is put back into the store. Swinkels has yet to take any income and says he won’t until the store is what he wants. Even though digital music has found its way into virtually every home, vinyl records are anything but dead. Step into either Orange Records or Vinyl Giant and you will see what I mean. Tell them the music sent you.

animals are always a big success. “Whether it be the petting zoo, pony rides, or carriage rides, children love to be where the animals are,” she explained. Wolpert would like to invite everyone to the Fall Festival. If you have never been, now’s your chance. For that matter, Wolpert would also like to invite everyone to all Fargo Park District’s events. “Fall Festival and other events put on by the Fargo Park District is a great opportunity to come out and enjoy time spent with your family,” she said. “There are events all throughout the year that cater to everyone.” If you like anything to do with fall or pumpkins, the Fall Festival is your place. In addition to the pumpkin patch (with over 1,000 pumpkins) and petting zoo, you can also enjoy face painting, arts & crafts at the Peter Peter Pumpkin Factory, balloon animals, carnival games, pumpkin decorating, a straw bale maze (with a new pattern), barrel train rides, pony rides, and concessions. Admission to the park is free. Some activities require tickets, but you can purchase an all-day pass for the low price of $5.50. The festival takes place at Rheault Farm, located at 2902 25th Street South in Fargo.

Fall Rummage Sale:
Your Treasure is Waiting by Jamee Larson
If you are a bargain hunter like me, West Fargo’s Fall Rummage Sale is a must-see event. Now in its tenth year, the sale was initially called the “Holiday Craft and Rummage Sale” before evolving into the “Fall Rummage Sale.” Always held in September, the sale is one of the most popular events in the Fargo/Moorhead area. West Fargo Park District Recreation Specialist Allison Hauschild has seen that popularity first hand. “Every year we get close to 2,000-3,000 participants who come to shop around,” she explained. “For booth spaces, we have over 200 in the fall and there is always a wait list as we get closer to the event.”
Something for Everyone A wise man once said, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” That is the notion the Fall Rummage Sale was built upon. At the event, you will find typical rummage sale items such as clothes, kitchenware, antiques, kids’ items, etc. That isn’t all you can expect, however. “We are getting more popular with the home based businesses like Scentsy and Tupperware,” Hauschild said. “We also get a couple of people who make items such as pillowcases/pillows, blankets, gloves doll furniture, etc.”

do more evening leagues in the winter and youth programs. The facility will also have birthday party packages and a walking track for the public to use. “As our community grows, the Park District grows,” Hauschild said. “It’s an exciting time!” The Fall Rummage Sale will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Arena on September 10th from 7am-1pm. Admission is only $1 and ages 17 and under are free. The Veterans Memorial Arena is located at 1201 7th Avenue East in West Fargo.

home project? You would be wise to circle the weekends of September 1718 and 24-25 on your calendar and take advantage of all the Fall Parade of Homes has to offer.
“It was an innovative way for the Association to promote a communitywide event for its members and combine advertising reach by pooling resources,” explained Bryce Johnson, Chief Executive Officer for the
The Fall Parade of Homes is one of the area’s biggest events. Sponsored by
HBA. “It’s been extremely successful over the years, so leaders decided
the Home Builders’ Association of Fargo-Moorhead (HBA), the event began
to start a Fall Parade of Homes in 1999, and that event has been going
in 1999. The organization’s Spring Parade of Homes, however, dates back
strong ever since.
What is the HBA? When asked to define the HBA in her own words, Johnson replied, “We are a trade organization for the building industry, and give our members a collective voice when dealing with any local, state, and national governmental changes in regulation that increase the cost of housing for the residential buyer or homeowner who wishes to remodel.” The organization also provides opportunities for members to promote themselves at events like the Parade of Homes and the Red River Valley Home & Garden Show. “We also offer networking opportunities within the organization for members to get to know each other, and offer a multitude of cost-saving benefits,” Johnson explained.
What is the Parade of Homes? Johnson has been with the HBA for 24 years and has seen the popularity of the Parade of Homes continue to surge. “It’s a great way for residents to actually experience the homes our members build, and the products used within them, first hand,” she said. “Many people enjoy getting out, stretching their legs, and seeing the many design and decorating trends in the homes. Even if they (the homes) aren’t on the market to buy new, it gives them a lot of ideas for their existing homes.” A fairly new part of the Parade of Homes involves remodeling. Now in its fifth year, the Remodeled Home Tour takes place in conjunction with the Fall Parade of Home’s final weekend and is organized by the HBA’s Remodelers Council. “It allows the public to see the dramatic updates that can be made to existing homes by our professional remodelers and trade contractors,” Johnson explained. “It’s a unique perspective to be able to tour existing housing stock that has been significantly updated.” The Parade of Homes will feature 55 houses ranging in price from $219,915 to $1,395,000. “We will have two luxurious featured homes priced over $750,000,” Johnson said, adding that there is a $5 charge to tour the two homes. All proceeds will be donated to the Home Builders Care of F-M Foundation, the charitable arm of the HBA.
How Can I Purchase Tickets? The HBA is utilizing a new mobile app and website to go along with the event. Whether you want to purchase the $5 ticket to tour the luxurious homes or reserve your free general admission ticket to the entire parade, you can take advantage of the app and the convenience it affords. “By using these new digital tools, you can browse information on each home, see the maps and plan your route, and see additional information and photos not included in the magazine,” Johnson explained. The HBA is always looking for new homes to feature on either the Parade of Homes or the Remodeled Home Tour. “If there are any homeowners out there who would like to show off their transformations, they should contact our office at (701) 232-5846 or email info@hbafm.com,” Johnson said. “It doesn’t have to just be interior, we’d love to have some patios, decks, and landscaping as well. The Fall Parade of Homes takes place September 17-18 and 24-25 from 12:00 – 5:00 pm, with the Remodeled Home Tour added to the last weekend. More information on both can be obtained at www.hbafm.com. 24 |

Participation Parkway went through Memorial Park in Moorhead, while Activity Alley, with events geared toward children, went past the Horace Mann neighborhood. Participants were even encouraged to take a detour off the usual map to head indoors - through the Moorhead Center Mall - to enjoy music and work by area artists. “I believe we’re the only street festival to incorporate in the indoor element,” Watson Curry said. This allows participants, even more, enjoyment along the way. “We like to have concentrated areas for people to really slow down and interact,” she added.

While the content of the event shifts each time, many of the same groups show up, willing to make a difference in the community. The August event’s theme was about celebrating teamwork in all its forms. In September, StreetsAlive! will focus on building a compassionate and neighborly community. It will be held at the end of Welcoming Week (Sept. 16-25), a national series of events which brings together immigrants and their new U.S. neighbors in a spirit of unity. Watson Curry plans to set up a cultural corner, celebrating dance, sports, and traditions of various countries. “It’s really important to welcome these new people to the community,” she said. StreetsAlive! is inspired by a movement called Ciclovía “cycleway”. During Ciclovía in Bogotá, Colombia, where it was originated, huge stretches of highway are closed down every Sunday afternoon and holiday to allow people to move freely without the use of cars or other motorized transportation. These events have been taking place in Bogotá since 1974 and have spurred a people-powered movement all over the country. While StreetsAlive! is the only open street festival in the Fargo-Moorhead area, thousands take place across the world each year. “The world doesn’t end when you take a break from cars for a while,” Watson Curry said.
