ON THE COVER

The beer featured on the cover is Fargo Brewing Company's "Alfred the Great" English Rye Barleywine.

This special release was aged in rye whiskey barrels before it was put on tap at Fargo Brewing. They also have an "Alfred the Great" infused with cherries. You can try this fine brew at either their main location at 610 N University Dr. or at their Ale House at 4445 17th Ave S.

A Goal ACCOMPLISHED...

3 Low-key Spots to Grab a Drink

H

ello readers! I am Nolan Schmidt, the new editor of Fargo Monthly!

Now that I have introduced myself, I would just like to say how excited I am to get rolling here at Spotlight Media.

I am looking forward to traveling around this great city to not only hear the great stories Fargo has to tell but to hopefully meet all of you in the process.

Though much of my previous professional experience is in radio, writing and editing have always been a sort of hobby for me. I have been afforded the opportunity to write for notable online websites over the last five years. These privileges are what led me to this position, and I have now been able to turn what was once an impassioned pastime into a legitimate career. Not only am I thankful for Spotlight Media, but I am thankful for those of you who continued to support me, even if you thought I was crazy to think I could become a full-time writer and editor.

Full disclosure, almost all of my writing experience has been in sports. While I will remain passionate about that topic, I am also passionate about Fargo. Having lived

in this city for six years, I still have much to learn about Fargo’s people, events and nuances. Perhaps that is where you come in! Contact me if you have any story you want to be told and I will do my best to get it in this publication. This is your magazine, not mine!

Being able to go to work every day and tell stories has always been a goal of mine. Finally, it seems as though I have accomplished that goal. However, while I check this objective off my list, it does not stop here. The next step is to fill Fargo Monthly with high-quality content and I will exert as much effort as possible to make sure that happens.

I look forward to hearing from you! Feel free to contact me if you have a comment or criticism. Your participation will help us here at Fargo Monthly get better each and every month!

Drumconrath Brewing Company 349 Knutson St., Mapleton, ND

It may take you a little longer to get to Drumconrath, as it lies about 20 minutes West of Fargo. However, the payoff for your travels will surely be made up as soon as you gander at their diverse line-up of 13 craft brews. Housed in what looks to be a former storage garage, you will enjoy some peace and tranquility as you enjoy your beverage of choice.

The Boiler Room

210 Roberts St. N, Fargo, ND

Nestled in the underground of Downtown Fargo is The Boiler Room where, arguably, the best drink special in town can be found. From 10 until midnight, all of their drinks are 50 percent off. Not only will you experience a cozy, personal atmosphere, but you will save some money in the process.

Hennessey’s Irish Pub

4323 45th St. S,, Fargo, ND

All the best,

Nolan Schmidt Editor

nolan@spotlightmediafargo.com

If you are like me and love to have a drink without the hustle and bustle, here are some places for you to try:

@NolanPSchmidt

When you think of a traditional Irish pub, you think of boisterous people and loud bagpipe music. Hennessey’s in South Fargo does not feature that particular aura, and that is what makes it so unique. Though the decor would remind you of a loud and overbearing place, the atmosphere is rather quaint. I might add that they make the best Irish Mule in the city as well.

n terms of growth and overall reach, Drekker Brewing Company seems to continue to progress every single day. Adam Schumacher says it is the craft beer culture that drives Drekker’s continuing innovation. “That’s just the craft beer scene,” he said. “The American craft beer scene is always about innovation, not only in the beers you make but the projects you’re doing in town. We’re always big pushers on what we can do to give back to the community more than anything. Innovation is ingrained in this community, so it’s easy to use that to our advantage.”

Schumacher highlighted Drekker’s Unpillage program, which features a local nonprofit every month. The type of projects vary month to month, but Drekker

devotes a portion of their tap sales to the chosen nonprofit. For example, they recently had local artists put together custom Drekker glassware, which was auctioned off. All of the proceeds from that auction went to the nonprofit of the month.

Drekker is one of the few Fargo area brewing companies that wants to continue to distribute to the Twin Cities area. The staff currently loads up their own vans and personally drives and delivers to various locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. “We’ve had such a great reception down there,” Schumacher said. “We get calls all the time from areas that want our product, but we are only able to produce so much for that area. So, it may seem like a tease to them, but that is certainly not our intention.”

As for new recipes and styles of beer, Adam could not give us too many details. However, he did say to expect new exciting styles of their popular Brain Freeze sour beers. Couple that with staples like Broken Rudder, Techno Viking and Hell Bent and you can safely assume Drekker Brewing Company will continue to flourish in Fargo.

American Craft Beer week is sure to be an exciting time for Drekker. Schumacher hinted at some new, exciting recipes that Drekker will be trying. American Craft Beer week is May 14-19 and Drekker will be at the Craft Brewers Conference in Tennessee on April 30 too. Schumacher and the Drekker team also strive to have events on every night of the week.

Whether that is trivia night, live music on the weekends or their competitive cornhole league, Drekker always has something going on.

adam's update on the

new facility

Drekker plans to open up their new facility on First Avenue this summer.

“It was sort of a pipe dream for us, driving by that building and seeing what it could be,” Schumacher said. Area architect Kevin Bartram approached Drekker in buying the space that he owned at the perfect time according to Schumacher. For now, Schumacher says they plan to have it open in August or September of this year. “The goal is to have Drekkerfest, our anniversary party there,” he said. “Hopefully, fingers crossed, we will be able to celebrate our fourth anniversary in the brand new space.”

The new location also provides Drekker the opportunity to try new recipes. “Right now, we are caught between a rock and a hard place,” he said. “The new facility will give us the chance to not only up our production but also try new recipes we have wanted to try for a long time. Sometimes, when you have staples like Brain Freeze or Broken Rudder, you cannot try all the things you want. This new space lets us do that, so we’re really excited.”

hen you hear the words Fargo and beer, what pops into your head?

Outside of the small handful who shouted “Busch Light!”, chances are you immediately thought of the aptly named Fargo Brewing Company. Though they have been around since 2010, the brewing firm has steadily grown in terms of production and reach. They now distribute in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Their true size and capacity is put in perspective by the vast number of blue, red and brown cans resting on pallet racks in the brewhouse.

Fargo Brewing Company still has their staples. Aaron Hill, one of the masterminds behind the entire operation says their mainstays still remain their most popular beers. “Our number one seller is Stone’s Throw, but the most well-known is our Woodchipper IPA,” Hill said. “We are brewing at least two batches of Stone’s

Throw throughout the year, and probably three batches in the summer.”

With the company now heading into its eighth year, Fargo Brewing Company knows it needs to keep up with beer trends. “When we started, clarity in your beer was key,” he said. “Now the trend is these hazy IPAs, which is totally different.

It is hard to get out in front of things like that. Usually, we can brew a small batch and see if we’re able to make a bigger batch once the trend really hits. But it gets tough, for sure.”

They are looking forward to the future though. Fargo Brewing Company plans to have more concerts and shows in their main taproom on University. “We’re still growing in North Dakota, the people of North Dakota are just starting to catch on,” Hill said. “I think the city is working really hard to connect NDSU with downtown and seeing some stuff move this way is really promising for us in this location.”

fargobrewing.com facebook.com/fargobrewing

Making Beer 101

with Aaron Hill

Step 1 Although it differs from beer to beer, each brew has a malt profile.

Brewmasters identify the beers malt profile (a recipe) and mill it. This begins the brewing process, Fargo Brewing Company usually brews four to five beers at a time.

Step 5 As the wort is transferred to the fermentation tank, it must lose nearly 200 degrees of temperature before entering. However, that number varies based on the beer being brewed and the type of yeast being used.

Step 2 After the beer recipe is milled, it is augered and sent to the brewhouse. Here, the malt will be mashed with water, which will create a wort (sugar water).

Step 6 Yeast is added as the wort is being transferred to the fermentation tank. The yeast acts with the wort to create the alcohol. As Aaron puts it, “Yeast will eat sugar and poop alcohol.”

Step 3 Once a wort is made, the liquid is transferred to a boil tank.

The wort will be boiled for about an hour at 209 degrees. It is at this point that hops are added. As with the malt, each beer calls for a certain amount of hops. The earlier hops are introduced to the mixture, the more bitter the beer gets. If hops are added later, the beer ends up having more aroma, flavor and character.

For example, a beer like Stone’s Throw, their Scottish Ale, has its hops brought in later in the boil since you want to taste more of the malt mixture than the hops.

Step 4 The beer is then transferred into a whirlpool tank. The purpose of this is to attain as much pure liquid as possible before fermentation begins.

Step 7 After primary fermentation, which takes roughly four days, the tank has its temperature dropped to roughly 34 degrees. This is done in an effort to let the yeast settle to the bottom to be extracted, which can take up to four days as well.

Step 8 Once the beer is ready (based on taste tests), it is moved to conditioning tanks. A product called biofine is added to make the beer less cloudy or hazy. More carbon dioxide is added as well. The beer will stay within the conditioning tank for three or four days.

Step 9 The beer is either kegged or canned for distribution.

hen you look at Junkyard Brewery from the outside, you may not see much in terms of size. From the moment you walk through the door, that assumption is turned on its head as you see the diverse line-up of experimental beers on tap. Not only that, but Junkyard has plans to expand its space in the near future.

“There is a building being built between us and First Avenue Promo and we’ll have the front part of that for more taproom seating,” said Nathan Haugen. “The anticipated end date is still up in the air, but we’re hoping to have it ready in the near future.” Junkyard plans to have another serving area in the new addition on top of the extra seating.

The constant rotation of beers on tap keeps the casual guest wondering what they may see when they walk into Junkyard. “I think people have come to

know our brand as experimental, always having new brews on tap,” Haugen said.

“You will always have those tried and true people who want the same thing every time, but we quickly learned if they come back and we don’t have what they want, we can find a similar style and they are probably going to like that. Most of our success is based on the change because people always want to know what’s on tap.”

Nathan also noted how Junkyard is one of the few places in the area that has live music every night. “When we started, we were the only ones putting live music on every night, and we pride ourselves on that fact, too,” he said. “You know it seems like a pain, but if you get local and touring artists to come in, it’s not as hard to book as you’d think.”

what is the

beer dazzler award?

This prestigious award that can now be found shining in plain sight in Junkyard Brewing Company did not come easy. The annual Beer Dabbler Awards in Minneapolis welcomes over 168 breweries. By day’s end, around 500 different kinds of beer will be poured for the happy patrons at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

At this year’s awards in February, Junkyard entered their King Size Imperial Peanut Stout for the Beer Dazzler Award. This honor is bestowed upon the best beer at the entire festival. After going through some preliminary judging, the beer was chosen for a Best in Show

flight. From there, certified beer judges tasted the brew and graded it on several different criteria. The jury came back with the verdict of Junkyard being the best beer at the festival.

The only other brewery to win that award was Bent Paddle Brewing Company, one of the most popular brands in the state of Minnesota.

Junkyard was given a very impressive medieval trophy that can now be seen in their taproom.

“It was actually a pretty big deal for us since we are still a fairly small operation here in Moorhead,” said Nathan Haugen.

W

ould you ever try a beer with potatoes or beets in it? If so, Flatland Brewery in West Fargo might be your place. The young brewery prides itself on experimentation with beer recipes. Hence, why you will see potato and beet beers on the tap list in the near future. “We are also the only place in town with permanently installed cask engines,” said brewmaster Frank Clemens. “So we are able to have two cask beers going at all times, which we normally infuse with other flavors.

We’re able to play with flavors more like putting cinnamon vanilla, maple or chipotle lime in beer. It just lets us stand out and be more experimental with it.”

Monday | Closed Tuesday-Thursday | 3-10 p.m.

Friday | 3 p.m.-12 a.m.

Saturday | 11 a.m.-12 a.m.

Sunday | 1-8 p.m.

For Clemens, he has found that this experimenting, which may sound odd to some, is vital to consumers. “When customers come in, the first thing they want is variety,” he said. “They want to try what is new, what is different. And they may not like them all the same, but they are just interested in trying everything.”

Some of that variety will be found on Flatland’s tap list in the near future. They plan to have their potato stout (called Spuds O’ Murphy) on tap in April along with their raspberry Blonde Ale. Clemens says both of those beers went over extremely well when they were premiered last year.

flatlandbrewery.com facebook.com/FlatlandBrewery

Flatland's popular Simcosis IPA (left) and their Ploughboy Oatmeal Stout (right) make up the mainstays on the taplist.

Flatland has also rolled out a movie night once a month. In the coming months, Clemens says they will focus on only local films for those movie nights. They also spotlight their weekly trivia games, which take place every Wednesday night with Two Lanterns Trivia.

Though they have only been around for just under two years, Flatland is already looking to possibly expand. “We have had conversations about it for sure,” Clemens said. “Right now, it may not be a complete reality, but if we keep moving along and distributing to more places, it will make more sense. I know we want to do it at some point though.” He also added

that if they were to expand, it would be to a building that would be devoted solely to production and distribution.

Therefore, they would have a taproom and production facility in two separate locations.

The only brewery in West Fargo has a lot to offer in terms of diversity for all kinds of beer drinkers. “We have something for everyone. We have a lighter beer for the non-craft beer drinker, but also have the complex stouts for those who enjoy that. It’s that variety that sets us apart,” Clemens said.

Prairie Bros popular Dreamer Cream Ale (center) is the brewery's top beer.

f you were to ask owner Don Kenna what sets Prairie Brothers Brewing Company apart from other places in the area, he’ll respond with a simple answer. “We are the only brewery in South Fargo,” Kenna said. “From Main Street to the South, we are the only brewery. And we are hitting on some classic beers and new ideas that make our product cleaner and better.”

Having opened in 2015, Prairie Brothers has a steady mix of classic craft creations and exciting new ventures. To date, their three top sellers in the taproom are their Dreamer Cream Ale (pictured), the Coco Boingo Chocolate Milk Stout and their Haze It IPA (pictured). “We have some standards that are unlike any other standards in the area and people are going crazy for them,” said Kenna.

However, they do have some new ideas on the horizon that are sure to peak any

26 | APRIL 2018 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

craft beer enthusiast’s interest. “We are going to have a porter style beer soon, it’s called Law Dog,” Kenna said. Prairie Brothers also plans to have a Czech Pilsner on tap by the middle of this month.

Calling it Chill Pills, those style of beers are usually lighter in color and hoppy in flavor. A perfect beer for the oncoming spring weather for sure. Looking forward to the summer, Prairie Brothers plans to have several wheat beers and shandies.

While that may be far off in the distance, the South Fargo brewery is always looking towards their future tap lists.

In terms of distribution, Prairie Brothers pushes out their beer to 15 different locations throughout North Dakota and Minnesota. Kenna says they do not want to stop there though, “Our goal is to be all over Minnesota lakes country and in the Iron Range area,” he said. “Minnesota may seem like a saturated craft beer market, but they have such a rich palette for craft beer so that is where we want to be.”

Don Kenna is always looking to the future of Prairie Brothers Brewing Company.

Whether it is a wider net of distribution or new types of beer, he seems to be

Monday | Closed Tuesday-Friday | 4-10 p.m.

Saturday | 12-12 a.m.

Sunday | 12-6 p.m.

one step ahead. Yet, he knows it is the customer that is always right. “Our future is in the hands of the beer drinkers,” he said.

“Knowing that we have a fantastic product, we don’t want to remain a small operation.

We want to be big and the drive from that is with the consumer loving our product.”

“We are a great brewery and people just need to give us a try,” Kenna said. “People may not know that South Fargo has a great brewery, but we have a great variety and a steady crowd of people coming through. We just want people to realize that we have great beer.”

s soon as you walk into Kilstone Brewing on 34th Street in Fargo, you may be surprised. Not by the aroma of malt and hops, but by the mere fact that there is a brewery in this location. Nestled within one of Fargo's industrial parks, Kilstone certainly has its regulars, as well as new arrivals too. "It's a 'Cheers!' type atmosphere here," said Manager and Brewer Grant Wigen. "We try to experiment a little bit, but we like to have approachable beers on tap. So if you are a Miller Lite drinker or if you like something darker, we will have something to fit your taste. We want to cater to everyone's likes and wants. " The family-owned brewery that opened in 2015, gives a comfortable atmosphere to whoever walks in the door. "It's going

to feel like home and it's going to feel like family," Wigen said. "Whether you've been working up in the industrial park all day or you've been grinding in an office, you can come in and sit here and be someplace that's a little different, but still relaxed like home. That is the goal."

Wigen says Kilstone's most popular beer comes in the summertime. "Our top beer is our Watermelon Wheat Beer, which we brew in the summer," he said. "Actually, we will start brewing that really soon, so keep an eye out." The other popular beers at Kilstone are their Irish Red Ales and their Polyphonic Pale Ale. "Obviously, the IPAs go quickly too," Wigen said.

As for exciting new beers on tap, Kilstone has a few for you to try out this month.

Their Winter Escape Belgian Wheat has notes of fruit in it, to give you a spring and summer feel while drinking. Kilstone's

other new wildly popular beer is their Chocoffee Stout. This brew is infused with chocolate and Atomic Coffee cold press, which gives it a nice malt profile. However, do not let the term "stout" fool you, this beer is still smooth and easy to drink.

The biggest news circling Kilstone is their new location at 222 Broadway in Fargo.

"It's going to be awesome. We are all just really excited around here," Wigen said. "We will be able to go to a 10 barrel system, which means we will be able to produce more beer. That way we can actually move out into the canning and bottling market. Within the year, we will be on that system and hopefully, we will begin that process shortly after."

Kilstone's new location will be right above where Atomic Coffee is now, a building Absolute Marketing Group now occupies.

This second-floor aesthetic will be different

from other downtown breweries. "We have a balcony overlooking Broadway and that is the only balcony that overlooks Broadway," Wigen said. "It's going to be really cool."

Wigen says he is not entirely sure if Kilstone will keep their 34th Street location open. He believes it would make more sense, from a licensing perspective, to close that location. "It's just easier to do it that way," Wigen said.

Along with the new location, Kilstone will be able to distribute to a wider range of areas. "Right now, we just self-distribute in Fargo," he said. "That will hopefully change with the new system because we want to get our beer into Lakes Country, but we just can't make enough beer right now."

Wigen believes Kilstone's new location will be ready by late summer of this year. If not that, expect to see Kilstone opening in the early Fall of 2018. With a new location on the horizon, this small operation may turn into something far bigger at this time next year.

t has not been around long, but in the short time Wild Terra Cider and Brewing has been in existence, it has been a hot spot in the area.

Now, the establishment has begun making their own homemade cider. They may not be the ciders you are expecting, but they will be just as flavorful, according to owner Ethan Hennings. “We are going to be making a lot of dry ciders,” he said. “There are not a whole lot of dryer

styles in North Dakota. It may not be what people expect when they think of ciders.”

In terms of how many ciders they are making at one time, Hennings says it may fluctuate. “We are still kind of tweaking things and experimenting. Hopefully, we have four to six on tap at a time, but we will be rotating styles and flavors frequently.” Their goal is to try different styles of ciders and decide which ones work out best with the customer. It is those ciders that may end up being the flagship beverages. However, there will be an ever-rotating cast of ciders on tap, as well.

Wild Terra wants to use local apples as much as possible too. “We have a distribution facility from Michigan that we will use all year round,” Hennings said.

“However, when it comes to harvest and fall time, we are going to do our best to use only North Dakota apples and some Minnesota too. The focus will be to find every North Dakota apple and make a true North Dakota cider.”

The goal for Hennings is to make as local of a product as possible. “I want to find some of the lesser-known, but still homegrown North Dakota berries,” he said. “We have a cider on tap now using the Aronia berry, which is a North Dakota berry, but it has tons of antioxidants and a great flavor. We also have some wild plums too. Just things like that to make it more of a local product.”

For the future, Wild Terra has some other exciting ventures besides cider. They plan to start making kombucha at some point this year. They plan to bottle and distribute that product while also having a few styles on tap. There are more exciting things in the works for Wild Terra, which include bringing a slice of Spanish cider pouring to the taproom.

Though it has not been around terribly long, Wild Terra Cider and Brewing has new and exciting initiatives that will continue to make them a hot spot in the Fargo nightlife scene.

with ethan hennings

Step 1 Start with a fruit choice. That will become the fermentable sugar in the drink.

Step 4 Depending on the style of cider, fermentation can take from two weeks to a full month.

Step 2 Add either wine yeast or ale yeast (Hennings uses both). At Wild Terra, the primary yeast used is champagne yeast.

Step 5 Cider is then racked for a month or more in a sterile container before it can be bottled or put on tap at Wild Terra.

Step 3 Like wine or beer, cider must ferment to create the alcohol.

To make a dryer cider, Hennings lets all of the sugar turn into alcohol.

However, if he wants a sweeter cider, he does not let that happen, leaving some of the sugar in the beverage.

n the distilling industry, it may be difficult to stand out. There are only so many combinations to be had that things may seem repetitive.

However, Proof Artisan Distillers has continued to re-invent what it means to distill alcohol. Not to mention, they are the only distillery in the FargoMoorhead area. Distiller Jeremy Meidinger and the group at Proof have formulated a few products that are unlike any other in the region.

They begin with their Crooked Furrow Harvest Blend bourbon. "It is North Dakota's first legally produced bourbon ever," said Meidinger. "It's made out of North Dakota corn and barley. What makes it blended is you take your oldest bourdon and combine it with stuff that never went in a barrel. Then you put all

of that into a barrel." Meidinger says the reason for this is so the bourbon is allowed to age longer. "The name 'Crooked Furrow' obviously comes from furrows that are created when you plant corn," Meidinger said. "But grandpa always said, 'Corn grows better in a crooked furrow'. Of course, he just said that because he drove crooked."

Another new initiative Proof is taking is the idea of mixing cocktails to be put on tap. "You're starting to see it pick up more around the country as a popular thing," he said. "You just mix the cocktail into a keg and hook it up to any tap system, like beer. Then if you want a Moscow Mule, it's right there to be poured. The cool thing about that system is that it monitors ABV so you don't overserve. It's a lot more controlled."

Proof still has their primary distillates that keep people coming back. "Our flagships are still the whiskey, the vodka and the gin," Meidinger said. "That's because we are doing something different with all of them." Proof is one of the few distilleries in the country that uses 100 percent potato base in their vodka. "We are also bringing gin back to its former glory," he said. "Technically, it's not even supposed to be a flavor profile. The only stipulation to make gin is 51 percent juniper by its botanical build. How strong you make the juniper in there depends, but we have chosen to do it less."

a location." However, Meidinger said he could not release any details on that location yet. "It's going to be really cool though," he said. "The things around it are going to make it a tourist destination I think. You'll be able to do a mini bourbon trail, only in North Dakota."

Fargo's only distillery is only getting started too. Meidinger says they plan to have a rickhouse facility sometime soon.

Rickhouses are used primarily as an aging space for the distillates. "It has to be within city limits or 10 miles from city limits," he said. "But we have to have it away from certain things as the product is considered volatile. But we think we have nailed down

Jeremy Meidinger also shows his gratitude to the various establishments in Fargo and Moorhead. "The breweries and the meadery have all been so great to us, and we just want to say thank you," he said. While they continue to give thanks to the community, Proof Artisan Distillers has become a powerhouse in the FargoMoorhead area.

More than anything, Proof wants you to know that they are as local as it gets.

"Anything we can get from North Dakota, we get," Meidinger said. "The only thing on our Crooked Furrow bottle that has left the state is the cap and the label.

Everything else is sourced locally."

One of Prairie Rose's most popular is their relatively new Plum mead.

here is something about the atmosphere when you step inside Prairie Rose Meadery in South Fargo. You get the sense of togetherness and family, and that is no doubt their goal. Susan and Bob Ruud opened up the establishment after developing a hobby and passion for making mead.

The most common question Susan gets asked is, “What is the difference between mead and wine?” and she is quick to point out the simple difference. “The main fermentable in mead is honey whereas the main fermentable in wine is grapes. Some meads do have some grapes in them but the primary fermentable is always honey,” she said.

Monday-Wednesday | Closed Thursday-Friday | 5-10 p.m.

Saturday | 11 a.m.-11 p.m.

Sunday | 12-6 p.m.

One new thing Prairie Rose is trying out involves a partnership with Proof Artisan Distillers. “We have actually started getting some of Proof’s empty barrels, cleaning them and putting our mead in them,” Ruud said. “Whatever was previously in that barrel gets picked up in the mead.

Sometimes you get more hints of the alcohol than others, but it adds a more complex flavor to the mead.”

Susan believes that Fargo is different because of how close all of the local breweries, distilleries and wineries are on a personal level. This allows them to have partnerships with places like Proof.

“I pretty much know and have a good relationship with all the brewery guys, the wineries and, obviously, Proof too,” she

said. “The area is big enough where we can send people to other places in our area. I don’t feel like we are in competition with one another.”

The most popular mead according to Ruud is their original, which features only the honey flavor. Other flavors that have become popular are blackberry, ginger and plum, which was just recently unveiled. “We have a following for all the kinds. People have their mainstays they like to stick to,” Ruud said.

An ideal situation for Prairie Rose would be to move location to a place more findable in Fargo. “We would like to get on a main road or even downtown,” she said. “Trying to find a place around there is obviously a challenge, but we are kind of hidden back here. A lot of people see it as

a sort of destination location, but we are certainly growing too.”

Susan strives to get as much North Dakota product as possible. “All of the honey we use in our meads is made in Killdeer, North Dakota. We try to get as much local fruit and spices from local sources too,” she said. “It is obviously hard to make the spices locally, but our mint is made in North Dakota as well.”

Prairie Rose Meadery plans to release some new flavors of mead in the coming months. They are trying out new kinds of honey that is still made in North Dakota.

Susan and Bob are also trying new fruit combinations like aronia orange. It is this adventurous style that has made Prairie Rose Meadery one of the best in the Midwest. They have won several national awards at competitions around the United States.

“We are a place that is relaxing, a place you can talk to your friends and we stay quieter than some of the other places,” Susan said. “So come visit us!”

HEALTH & WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT

BY C.J. English | PHOTOS COURTESY OF C.J. English

I remember the exact moment when I decided to drink wine every night for the rest of my life.

42 | APRIL 2018 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

It was 11 p.m., I was sitting at our kitchen table naked from the waist up. All three of my human children and another furry one were finally asleep and it was time to settle down with a glass of Cabernet and Game of Thrones. Just kidding, that’s what I wished would happen, that was not my reality as a new mom. In addition to my full-time job, I was also chief diaper changer, head housemaid to five crumb droppers and one more teeny-

tiny important thing: I was the milk factory.

So instead of binge-watching and wine drinking, I had to attach the bicycle horn pumps to my oversized milk machines and coerce the baby’s food through the tubing and into the bottles. After perhaps thousands of bottles of milk over many years, in the blink of a moment for no one specific reason, I’d decided I was done. I would no longer

grow baby humans and I would no longer produce or pump milk. I was done.

Among other things, I just wanted to be able to have a glass of guilt-free wine— delectable red wine with subtle hints of chocolate and smoked bourbon.

I looked at my husband who was sitting in the living room blissfully immune to his naked wife pumping milk and I said, “Honey, this is the last bottle of

from the pantry at nine o’clock at night. Having a glass (sometimes two) instead of eating after dinner is the lesser evil of the two.

He laughed a little then shrugged, “Okay.”

Now, you might argue that eating carrots or having a protein shake at bedtime is not evil and would be healthier, that’s not the point.

What I’m saying is that there is nothing in my pantry that I’m going to pick at nine at night that is less harmful to my weight and health. There are much more detrimental things a person can do in their diet besides having a glass of wine every night.

And so…my wine drinking life began, where I have a glass of wine with dinner, after dinner or both if I want too. Not soon after this new fantastic way of living began, a miraculous thing happened—I didn’t gain weight.

veryone you know is heading out to a cheese and wine pairing event these days. Or they are checking out one of the numerous beer and cheese tastings going on around town. So, what if you love cheese but would prefer a good old cocktail instead?

Well, it turns out that liquor can make a fine companion to cheese too! While the pairings are a bit trickier and the offerings are a bit stronger, you can really make some fantastic things happen when you pair food and liquor.

It’s also fun to talk about all the new things going on around here. It just so happens that not only does Luna now offer a small but discerning list of spirits, we also have some delicious new cheeses to talk about for the Spring. In keeping with the true nature of Luna, we kept our liquor list as regional as possible, so all the spirits mentioned here come from our neck of the woods. Here is a simple list of pairings to get you started down the rabbit hole of more ways to pair cheese with your booze of choice.

44 | APRIL 2018 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

1 Tattersall Vodka/Cana de Cabra Goat Cheese

Tattersall opened their distillery in Minneapolis in 2015 and these folks really know their liquor. Not only did they set up our bar and train our staff for us, they also designed a special cocktail list and then came to town for an amazing cocktail pairing dinner. Their premium spirits make up a large portion of our menu because they are just that good.

This is a particularly clean tasting vodka, so it pairs well with the lighter spectrum of cheeses. Since the vodka is delicate in flavor, some of the more full-flavored cheeses could be overpowering. I think a nice choice is our Cana de Cabra goat cheese from Spain. I also think it would be fun to play with some of the flavored vodkas out there too, but I’ll save that for another day.

2 Far North Solveig Gin/ Garroxta Aged Goat Cheese

If you are into cool stories, this distillery has one. You will find them in Hallock, Minnesota, at the very tippy top of Minnesota, which apparently makes them the Northernmost distillery in the US. Working out of a fourthgeneration family farm, they do it all themselves. They hand select, plant and harvest all non-GMO grains, and then they mill, distill and bottle all spirits from start to finish.

Garroxta is another Spanish goat cheese that has reappeared on our shelves as of late. This one is aged, which gives it a whole different flavor profile than the non-aged version. With its nose of citrus, pine cones and lavender, this delicate gin works well with the tangy herbal notes of the cheese.

Far North Ălander Spiced Rum/Lucky Linda Cheddar 3

Just like this award-winning rum, this pairing is super fun. This is definitely NOT Captain Morgan of your early twenties though. It is smooth and subtle and will be delightful with one of our newest cheeses from Redhead Creamery, which also just so happens to come from Brooten, Minnesota. This is a clothbound cheddar, which adds a savory element and is perfect for the spiciness of the rum.

4 Proof Crooked Furrow Bourbon/Mt Tam’s Brie

Our own hometown heroes in the distillery world, Proof is taking the Midwest by storm with their awardwinning spirits. If you haven’t been to the distillery, you are most definitely missing out. They are happy to show you around and answer all your questions. I recently went on my first tour and was really impressed with what an operation these guys are running.

For this pairing, the creaminess and saltiness of the brie enhance the richness of the bourbon.

Though I consider myself fairly adept at pairing food with wine and beer, I admit this liquor stuff is a little more of a stretch for me. Hence the reason I picked some simple cocktail pairings to play around with. But as with wine and beer, if you follow some basic food pairing rules, anyone can become a cheese and booze pairing aficionado. And now that I have all of these new liquors at my fingertips, I might just have to do some experimenting. I wonder what cheese would pair well with Fireball?

think the spring season has a way of motivating me to experiment and refine my baking and pastry skills. The sunshine and occasional spurts of warmth are tempting me to get outside but then the cold keeps pushing me back indoors. I suppose the focus on baking helps me to cope with the overwhelming emotion of spring fever. By the time May arrives, I should be a far stronger pastry chef than I was just a few weeks prior.

Most chefs defer to pastry professionals to produce desserts that may require a more delicate touch. The classic French macaron is a perfect example of a pastry item that not only requires a delicate touch and a solid understanding of technique, but also a commitment to mass produce them day after day. Then again, if a simplified recipe and process can be introduced, then any restaurant or home chef can more easily pull it off.

When it comes to classic cooking principles, I’m certainly not a purist. I believe that simpler methods can always be found and that the classics are meant to be adapted to a chef’s personality and

Preparation • Place the powdered sugar and almond flour in a food processor and pulse mixture quickly or until very fine in texture.

• Whip the egg whites with an electric mixer fitted with wire whip attachment until you have achieved a soft peak texture. Add the granulated sugar, food dye and zest.

Continue to whip at high speed until you achieve stiff peaks.

• Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.

passions. French macarons are a good example. If you rely simply on the tried and true classic French techniques, you may find yourself trying too hard to accomplish something that can be pulled off through simpler means.

• Place the batter in a piping bag with a small circular pastry tip. Pipe batter into ½-¾ inch circles onto parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking pan. Tap the pan on a counter surface to ensure the cookie surface is even.

The classic French macaron will require you to not only have your egg whites at room temperature, but to allow them to rest for several hours. There is an advantage to this scientifically, but not a step required for the average home food enthusiast.

• Let the raw cookies sit at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes to allow the surface to dry and harden slightly.

Simplified recipes can often provide an end-result that is parallel, or at least very close, to its classic recipe counterpart.

When two macarons are placed side by side for a professional to examine and taste, of course, there may be a slight difference but that’s not to say it’s not of high quality and acceptable.

• Bake at 325 degrees in a convection oven for approximately 8 minutes.

Bake time will vary depending on the size of the cookie and the oven being used.

• Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely. Use a preserve, buttercream or other fillings to sandwich two cookies together.

• Ideally, macarons are served the same day or frozen for up to two weeks for future use.

Baking should be rewarding. It should provide a certain level of therapy for you.

If your macaron isn’t quite as good as the one you had in Paris, don’t worry. Just make it a hundred or so times more and it eventually will be.

Katherine Kilbourne Burgum's impact has shimmered brightly on the city of Fargo as told by her son, Governor Doug Burgum.

rying to understand the legacy left behind

by Katherine Kilbourne Burgum is a lot like Fargo, her favorite city. It is already wide and vast, but yet it keeps branching out further and further. Her impact is full of cultural and civic diversity, but most of all, it revolves around a love for community and curiosity. With this historic influence, Kilbourne Burgum has made a footprint in Fargo that may be bigger than any other. Outside of her effect on the city and region, she was also able to pass her values onto her children. Interestingly enough, one of them became North Dakota's 33rd Governor.

"She was an inspiring teacher," said Governor Doug Burgum. "She embodied the values that I still think are important today." He says it was a child-like curiosity that made this possible.

"Throughout her lifetime, she never lost her curiosity," Burgum said. "She filled us in on that too. It seemed like her curiosity made taking risks less risky."

The Governor is the youngest of three kids had by Katherine

and Joe Burgum. Growing up in Arthur, North Dakota, he sought influence in his mother and father. "I am grateful for both of my parents," he said. "They were both great role models, engaged in the community. That provided us with a great foundation."

Even when Joe dropped out of graduate school to join the Navy after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the couple stayed close. Burgum believes it was this tight bond that made his mother who she was. "After dad got back from the war, they still had the same tight bond," he said. "It's that strength and perseverance that made her so special."

That resilience was put to the test after Joe Burgum passed away in 1971. The Burgum patriarch was only 53-years-old. Katherine Kilbourne Burgum saw that she needed to stay strong and

The Kilbournes move to Fargo where Katherine's father, Dr. Burton Kilbourne, became the city's first public health director.

"She was incredibly successful in that role," Burgum said.

After becoming permanent Dean soon after, she got down to business immediately. By 1973, Katherine had been the primary benefactor in building a new facility for the College of Home Economics.

That building has since been renovated and named after Katherine.

Katherine graduates from Fargo Central High School and chooses to attend college at North Dakota Agricultural College.

Kilbourne graduates from NDAC (now known as North Dakota State University) with majors in Home Economics, Education, Foods and Nutrition and a minor in Journalism.

After moving East to New York, Katherine taught home economics in a Long Island high school. She did this while taking masters classes at Columbia University. She received her masters that same year in Home Economics, Education and Related Art.

So, how do we build 13,000 or more jobs in our state?

We can't if all our cities have dilapidated downtowns."

in 1980, Katherine did not stop representing Fargo.

Governor Burgum recalls how Downtown Fargo resonated with his mother and the entire Burgum family. "Her father was Fargo's first Public Health Director and she grew up at 1122 4th Street North, so she grew up around the original downtown," he said. "She walked down Broadway to get to school every day. So she saw what downtown was and what it could be. At that time, the Black Building was the tallest structure in North Dakota." Burgum also added that when Katherine was growing up, Downtown Fargo was beginning to grow as well, casting a wider net in the city.

However, by the time Doug

was growing up in the 1970s, Downtown Fargo was regressing. He recalls having to go the orthodontist's office in Downtown Fargo when he was in middle school and seeing his mother gaze at the state of downtown. "It was declining by the '70s when I was growing up," he said.

"And she took that personally, knowing what a downtown should be. It was through her that got my passion for downtown."

That is why Burgum founded the appropriately named Kilbourne Group in 2006.

It is obvious enough that the Governor named the company after his mother, but there is more to it than a simple namesake. "There would not be a Kilbourne

Group at all if it was not for her instilling that downtown enthusiasm," Burgum said.

Since its inception, Kilbourne Group has enlivened much of the older downtown buildings with renovations to the Black Building, and the building where Prairie Roots Food Co-op now stands, too. They have also invested in new, exciting projects for the city like the much-anticipated Block 9 project. All of this was made possible because of Katherine Kilbourne Burgum's love for downtown Fargo.

As Governor, Burgum has continued to push the revitalization of downtowns throughout the state. His Main Street Initiative is grounded, in part, to what he calls "vibrant communities," which revolve

"When people are looking to move here, they look at the community first and the job second," Burgum said.

"We have to restore those downtown cores to make our communities more attractive.

It is beneficial to taxpayers for downtown infrastructure to be thriving, it's a workforce argument and taxpayer initiative."

Katherine's upbringing cultivated a lifestyle she would stand by for most of her life. "Growing up during the Great Depression, frugality was key," Burgum said. "She lived almost her entire life that way." Governor Burgum says that changed at age 82 when Katherine was on the Board of Directors for Doug's Great Plains Software company.

her son. "We had struggled through the '80s and '90s," Burgum said. "Nobody in our family had bought shares, except her. I remember we were at a meeting with investment bankers and they all thought she would sell her shares. Then she got up and said, 'I'd actually like to buy some shares.' She believed in us that much."

Great Plains Software was eventually acquired by Microsoft in 2000.It was this purchase by Microsoft that let Katherine move out of her usually economical approach to money. "The acquisition by Microsoft gave her the extra capital to do philanthropic work," Governor Burgum said. She continued these campaigns up until the end.

Katherine Kilbourne Burgum died peacefully on April 12, 2005, shortly after her 90th birthday. However, the Burgum family opted to do something different with her estate. "In her honor, we set up a foundation using her estate rather than have it go to us as a family," Burgum said. "Now, whenever we do a gift for the foundation, I

always think that this would not be possible if she had not believed in us." The Burgum family has provided funds to the Plains Art Museum and the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre. Because of their generosity, Katherine Kilbourne Burgum has her name on The Stage at Island Park's pavilion and Plains Arts' Center for Creativity.

Katherine Kilbourne Burgum's youngest son knows the sweeping impact his mother had on this city, region and state. "Her desire to create beautiful spaces, her appreciation of art. She was just really something," he said.

"It's hard sometimes because all the things we've been able to do since she left are things she would've loved to do."

Governor Burgum reflected on his mother's final few months.

"She was full of grace, even if she knew she was at the end of her life," he said. "She never put a limit on us kids or her grandkids, she always wanted us to reach higher."

Never the less, Governor Doug Burgum believes his mother would be happy if she were still around today. "She would just be tickled about everything we've done," he said. "And we're just getting started."

"There would not be a Kilbourne Group at all if it was not for her instilling that downtown enthusiasm."

kalcey wike @ Barcode Bar & Grill

835 23rd Ave. E, West Fargo barcodebar.net

Barcode is one of the newest bar and grills in our area having opened in January 2018. For those unfamiliar with the West Fargo landscape, it lies right across the street from Costco.

Though they are young in age, they have one of the most seasoned bartenders in the Red River Valley. Kalcey Wike recently moved out to West Fargo after working at The Turf, an NDSU hot spot, for nearly two decades. Now, Wike has retreated from the college scene to a more relaxed feel at Barcode.

Q&A HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BARTENDER?

Since 1999. I was at the Bison Turf for 17 years until it burned down, I was the bartender and night manager there. Then I was at Brickhouse for the last year and a half and now two months here.

HAVING WORKED AT A PLACE FOR SO LONG (BISON TURF) HOW DIFFERENT IS IT WORKING AT A BRAND NEW BAR?

It's new, it's different. There's a different crowd, less kids too. The Turf was kind of a North Fargo community bar and that included the NDSU community, which made it a very large group. This is more of a neighboorhood bar, which is our goal in West Fargo.

In the last year and a half, I have gotten to know quite a few people from West Fargo. I live over here now so the trek is not as long as it was when I was at The Turf.

TELL US ABOUT THE DRINK YOU MADE TODAY.

It's a variation of a Lynchburg lemonade so there's Jack Daniels, Grape Pucker, Raspberry Pucker and then I combine it with lemonade and add fresh blueberries and raspberries on top too. I have not put it on our drink menu yet since we are so new. On April 1, we are starting a period where we can create our drink menu so we'll have a wider tap list plus more drinks so this will be on it.

"THE UP NORTH" • 1 part Jack Daniels • 1 part Grape Pucker • 1 Part Raspberry Pucker • 1 Part Lemonade Combine all ingredients in a shaker and add ice before shaking. Pour into glass and garnish with fresh blueberries and raspberries.

How to be an advocate for

he Fargo-Moorhead area has become a haven for culture for a couple of years. The community is filled with creativity, energy and a life force that quickly seduces one to jump into action. This is an ever-growing city, bustling with artists energized by research, entrepreneurs revolutionizing the ways for commerce, visionaries and leaders who are insatiably engaged and curious in finding ways to contribute to the livability of their community. Coffee shops are full of life in the mornings, the streets are moving fast and restaurant kitchens are busy during both lunch and dinner.

There is an ambiance of vitality in the

Fargo Moorhead area, and a creative energy that has translated into successful business ventures and community programs. The connection between the arts and the growth of a community is inextricable. The world is full of seemingly magical stories that demonstrate the crucial role of an artist in the advancement of a community. Though the relationship between artists and their community has lasted for centuries, somehow the benefits are flowing one way.

The paradox is that the more artists contributing to a community, the more rents rise and the more difficult it becomes for local artists to afford to stay and make a living in a city they love.

Communities need to reimagine ways

ALEX INTRODUCES YOU TO PASTEUR Art has a special place in my life because it is a universal language. As a matter of fact, the second language of the Fargo-Moorhead area should be ART. Some of you might wonder, wait, what do you mean? Art as a second language?

Well, when people come to Fargo they should think the city speaks both English and Art, but how would that be possible?

In order to elaborate on why ART is "the diamond in the clay" of the Red River that has not been fully tapped yet, I would like my older brother from another Rwandan Mother to share some of his first-hand experience as an artist living in the FM area for more than 10 years.

He is the producer and the curator of these visual experiences that can heal us and stimulate our imagination or even be a mental gateway allowing us to escape our mundane routine thanks to his magic and vibrant brush stroke...

PASTEUR

they can collaborate with artists; the idea of artists volunteering their skills for exposure instead of compensation has impeded the growth of these creative individuals. The good news is that almost every community already has untapped or underdeveloped resources that can be used to support and boost the influence of our local artists.

Financial Support The FM Area art scene is kept alive by talented local artists and the community members who purchase their art. Art comes in all shapes and forms. Sculpture, prints, music, drama, photography and painting. Every piece of art, large or small, takes a tremendous amount of time, love and thought. Next time you peruse the beautiful artwork of FM artists, purchase a little something for your home, office or cubicle. Pick up a unique ceramic, a handcrafted leather notebook or jewelry.

Better yet, you can commission a painting or a table. There is not a more effective way to support local art than financial support, whether it be buying from the artist, gallery or in the form of charitable contribution.

Be present in Local Art Scene Throughout the year, there are countless numbers of art-based events. Art walks, pop-ups, exhibitions, galas and opening night receptions. Art lovers can demonstrate their support of the local arts community by regularly attending such special events. In a creative community like this, special events like these occur year-round. Of course, being present in the local art scene is not restricted to galleries and museums. Coffee shops, breweries and other establishments play a big role in hosting local musicians.

Being an advocate for the arts while making art purchases and attending local events are absolutely necessary and indispensable. However, not everyone has the budget and time to do so. Fortunately, the effort to strengthen the local art does not need to come at a price. It is easier to promote local artists, museums, galleries and organizations that support art via social media platforms. Tools like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram can be used to share and promote artworks, news and events.

Celebrating Journey Her YWCA Cass Clay honors 38 area women and organizations at their 45th Women of the Year ceremony.

Eliminating racism.

Empowering women.

BY Nolan Schmidt PHOTOS BY Britta the Photographer

"It's designed to lift all women up," said YWCA Cass Clay CEO Erin Prochnow. "We want to highlight the women who are leading in the forefront, but also women who are behind the scenes that are doing really great things as well." Prochnow says that the YWCA's mission goes handin-hand with their pursuit of peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

56 | APRIL 2018 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

It is a simple mission, but one that YWCA Cass Clay holds close to their organization.

They hold it so close that they continue to search and honor the women who uphold their message. That is why YWCA holds an annual Women of the Year ceremony, to highlight those women who shine so brightly. On April 30, they will be holding their 45th ceremony as they honor 38 women and businesses from various walks of life.

The nomination process is relatively simple, yet complex at the same time. "We ask for nominations in 13 different categories," Prochnow said.

"Women must reside or work in Cass or Clay County.

However, the woman must also know that they are being nominated, this should not be a surprise to the nominee."

The nomination form features a range of fairly in-depth questions for the potential nominee to answer. "It is not going to take you five minutes," said Prochnow. We ask people to go into greater detail. The nominator may even have to interview the person they want to nominate just so they can understand their philosophical approach to life." After the February 20 deadline, the YWCA had 38 nominees for this year's ceremony.

"I think it's important for women to want to have their accomplishments recognized,"

Prochnow said. "It's such an inspirational night for the community to come together and honor these nominees."

Lisa Schwinden, Head Golf Professional at Osgood Golf Course was one of those nominees. She was nominated in 2014 in the Youth Advocacy category. Her nationally recognized girl's youth golf clubs are what got her recognized at the 41st Women of the Year event.

"It's so inspiring to see this event because it motivates you to keep doing things," Schwinden said. "I always leave that event wondering how I can do more. The recognition is great, but just going to the event is what inspires me to keep doing something."

Schwinden believes the programs she runs at Osgood are a reflection of the YWCA's mission. "I always tell people you have to find your niche in how you can help," she said.

"I can inspire girls and teach them how to be a leader in a male-dominated sport. Just being a leader and being visible itself is inspiring to girls.

That alone can change the culture of racism and sexism. I want to show that women can do this too."

Some of the same sentiments rang true with Lynna Ngo, who was nominated last year in the Young Women of Today and Tomorrow category. However, she recalls how much the YWCA helped her personally.

"I remember being a very timid and shy girl in high school because I often let people tell me what to do," she said.

"Through lots of mentorships, building connections with my teachers and engaging with the YWCA, I learned I have the ability to speak up because my peers and I have value and we can actually contribute our experiences and efforts to something greater than ourselves." It is Ngo's belief that the YWCA provides safe spaces for women to speak up in their communities.

What Ngo partakes in at Brown University in Rhode Island also fulfills YWCA's mission. "I am working with a program called Bonner Community Fellows at my university. This program allows students to sustainably engage with our communities by working with nonprofit

organizations in focus areas related to health, education and social justice, or the arts," Ngo said. "The organization is led by a majority of woman figures, and their goal is to eliminate racism and empower people by supporting those who are working to overcome cultural, educational, economic and language barriers. I feel it's a strong responsibility of mine to help other firstgeneration Americans and new Americans to gain skills to move up the social and economic ladder."

Perhaps there is no greater accomplishment than progress. Erin Prochnow believes there has been progressi thanks to the Women of the Year ceremony.

"There have been a number of leadership groups that are designed to create a culture of encouragement around women," she said.

"We believe in encouraging women to go out and achieve whatever they dare to dream. I think there has been progress and that is only positive."

"We are just so grateful to host this event," Prochnow said.

"Everything we do is under this umbrella of empowerment of women. And that's really amazing."

A

s is the case with many who want to become physically fit, Tim Boyle was lacking motivation.

He had just kicked a smoking habit and now craved the idea of becoming happy and healthy.

Boyle's aim was to fill the void left by cigarettes with running. However, as winter dawned on the Red River Valley, he lost his drive. That was when he turned to the internet for motivation.

"I Googled inspirational quotes," Boyle said. "And one that came up was, 'I run because I can and when I get tired, I remember those who can't run and what they would give for the simple gift we take for granted.' I thought that was so profound. There are people out there who would love to do what I'm doing and I'm complaining about it." From there, Boyle posted the quote on his Facebook page where a friend of his, a 56-year-old man with Down Syndrome, commented: "You can run for me anytime." "I thought, 'That's brilliant,' I am going to run for you," Boyle said.

So Boyle founded Who I Run 4, a nonprofit that pairs runners with people with physical or mental disabilities. What started out as a group with only Boyle and his buddy Michael has now bloomed into a worldwide phenomenon. "We had a core group of 10 of us and now we are closing in on almost 50,000 members," Boyle said. On top of that, Who I Run 4 is all over the globe. "We are in all 50 states and 98 countries with people from Australia, Germany, Hong Kong and South Korea," he said. "I never thought it would be this far-reaching, I thought we could for sure get at least 100 members, but we had 200 in two months." The nonprofit has also been featured in national publications like "USA Today" and "Runner's World." Boyle has recently branched the nonprofit out to include siblings of those with disabilities, as well as veterans.

With the Fargo Marathon coming up in May, Boyle anticipates 25 to 30 Who I Run 4 members to be running at the Fargodome. In that contingency will be Josh Hausauer, Boyle's racing buddy.

"He has Fahr's Disease, which is where calcium deposits are being formed in the

brain," Boyle said. "It decreases his motor function and his ability to speak, but his mind is absolutely crystal clear. His brain is brilliant." Boyle got to know Josh and eventually, the two ended up doing the half marathon together. While the pair has done the half marathon for the last two years, Josh had a surprise for Tim this year. "He threw me under the bus by saying he wanted to do a full marathon," Boyle said laughing. "You can't say no to something like that."

According to Boyle, Who I Run 4 makes running more than an individual sport.

"Running is a selfish sport," Boyle said.

"With Who I Run 4, you are the legs for someone who needs the legs. It just transcends it into something beautiful, you are helping someone to cross the finish line for the first time in their life. We have given them an outlet, outside of their family, of people who care. We care for them as a human."

Boyle hopes that people will come out to Scheel's on Thursdays for their weekly run nights where you can also find out more about Who I Run 4.
