Rocky Schneider kicks off the new year on Rocky’s Downtown Hour with a warm look back at Fargo’s biggest wins of 2025 — from record-breaking street fairs and holiday parades to the reopening of the beloved Island Park Pool. Then, Rocky welcomes Lana from The 1889, Fargo’s oldest brick building turned creative hub, to talk about how cooking, crafting, and connecting are bringing people together downtown.
Lana shares stories from her popular classes — from ratatouille to macarons, and even a Snoop Dogg–themed night — and explains why The 1889 is all about quality time, not screen time. They discuss the joy of gluten-free brunches, pasta-making teamwork, and why Fargo’s downtown remains a year-round destination for creativity and community.
Whether you’re a foodie, a maker, or just looking for something new to do this winter, this episode will inspire you to get out, meet people, and rediscover Fargo’s local flavor.
