As the sun crests the horizon over Minot, the city stirs with the rhythm of festivities. At the Norsk Høstfest, the celebration of Scandinavian culture is in full swing, filling the air with the music of Gaelic Storm, an ensemble weaving the spirit of Celtic heritage into the heart of the Nordic event. And what finer testament to camaraderie than a tribute to The Fab Four, reminding us of the timeless harmony that bridges nations, much like the nations of the North coming together this week.
Elsewhere, Oak Park hosts its weekly Farmers Market, offering the fruits of honest labor from local growers and makers. It is a fitting nod to Johnny Appleseed, a man who, like our local vendors, understood the virtue of planting for the future. Wander through, fill your basket, and consider that every apple picked today may well be tomorrow’s preservation of something far greater.
