Rocky Schneider braves the Fargo cold to highlight the people and events making downtown a vibrant community hub. The show features two special guests and a preview of upcoming seasonal traditions that aim to bring neighbors together.

The conversation includes:

  • Fargo’s Funniest Finals: Aaron Templin, owner of Front Street Taproom and The Cellar, discusses the climax of the “Fargo’s Funniest” competition. He shares the history of The Cellar as a underground comedy staple and previews the final shows where the audience votes to crown the local champion.

  • Affordable Homeownership: Trenton Gerads, Executive Director of the Cass Clay Community Land Trust, explains their unique “shared equity” model.
