FROMTHEEDITOR

A HAPPY

ACCIDENT ntil my dying day, I will go on record and claim that I am not a fashion expert. It's not that I don't hold the sensibility for it, but it's a field I have just never taken the time to fully unpack. That can be seen in my usual outfit of jeans and a t-shirt. Because I am no expert, this issue topic kind of scared me. In full transparency, I was kind of dreading this issue because I am so uneducated on the topic. In the past, I have relied on others to help create this issue, but given our current circumstances at Spotlight, I had to finally take the reigns on it. As I stated above, I was not particularly motivated about this issue. However, I sat down one day and tried to rid my mind of that mindset. If I put together this whole issue under that pretense, we would have a monumentally bad issue. I had to develop a want to learn about fashion and shopping. Safe to say, I am happy I changed my mindset. Much of that shift if thanks to the amazing business owners featured in this issue. The stores we choose to feature in this issue were chosen for a specific reason. Each business has its own niche in this industry. DRUTHERS is one of the few men's-focused boutiques in town. Jade + Jasper is offering West Fargo the flavor of a downtown store at The Lights. Carmine

& Hayworth Vintage has its core audience and who does not love old school clothes? Red River Coffee is blending food and drink with the atmosphere of a boutique. They all had a niche and that has helped make this issue more all-encompassing. While we selected businesses based on their niche, we learned something along the way that helped lift this issue even more. In an unplanned moment, all of the businesses featured within are owned and operated by women. Call it a happy accident, I suppose. Each woman has her own specific story of starting her business, growing it and sustaining it. With the pandemic hurting several small businesses across the country, these women stood up and saw their businesses thrive.

In the meantime, stop into these businesses and shop or say hi. All four of these women are truly special and they bring so much to our community beyond just their businesses.

Nolan P. Schmidt

Telling these stories through the eyes of these great woman leaders was enlightening for me. It helped me educate myself on the subject matter and while they may not know it, I really appreciate these four women for taking the time to talk to an uneducated guy like me. I hope this issue inspires all of you potential business owners out there, especially women. There will never be enough woman-owned businesses in our community and we must continue to create a culture that encourages that. Hopefully, these stories will help that mission. 9

Carmine & Hayworth owner Courtney Schur.

carmine & hayworth vintage Once focused on vintage clothing rentals, Carmine & Hayworth has graduated to a full-on retail space created for all.

There is something about vintage clothing. Maybe it's the smell, maybe it's the retro feel or maybe it's learning the history of a garment, but vintage clothing always seems to bring smiles to faces. Whether in a moment of nostalgia or overall happiness, the environment seems to bring out the best in us. Courtney Schur has known that fact for a long time. Schur has always had a passion for vintage clothing, claiming she fell in love with the history attached to each article of clothing. Initially collecting vintage costumes, Schur began renting out her collection to local artists and

photographers. From there, her business, Carmine & Hayworth, was born. Since its inception in 2018, Carmine & Hayworth has become more than a rental space. Schur has opened up a retail space right on Main Avenue in Fargo. The goal? To create a safe space for everyone. Carmine & Hayworth will continue to flourish because you cannot help but be happy when stepping inside. What is more impressive is Schur's passion for serving her customers and giving them a space to enjoy.

"i have young girls, young men and those who are older that come in here. They get a sense of relief when they come in here and see that this is a place that understands them. We love everyone and we want everyone to come here and feel like they have a safe place where they are accepted. It was that place that I wish I had when I was younger and I just want everybody coming in to know that they're an integral part of this business." - courtney schur How did you turn this idea into a rental service and then a full retail store? Like a lot of vintage shops, I started off collecting and my biggest passion was actually collecting vintage costumes. From there, I thought: 'well, I don't just want to hoard them, and keep them hidden away'. I started loaning them out to photographers, but I also do costume studies so other makers can look at the pieces and reproduce them. I wanted to make this my life and my full-time job. I just started as a rental shop and decided to meld the two.

Where did your love for vintage clothing come from? I love history. I know there's a huge conversation about just being more conscious of what you're buying, but it goes beyond that. I love knowing where each piece came from and that it had a whole other life before we even existed. A lot of these pieces are older than us and will outlive us. Knowing where they came from and what every little detail of it was attached to, I think is something really exciting to pass on to my customers.

Now, they know not only what they're wearing, but whom it came from.

What have been some of the biggest challenges in making this transition to a retail store? In this area, being a vintage store, it's a very niche business. It was really refocusing and kind of bringing everything that excites me into one place. There is vintage, obviously, but then other artists, other female businesses that really had products that evoke some kind of emotion. When I am looking at products, I just want to look at it and it makes me happy and it makes me forget about everything around me. That's kind of what we've tried to build here. As you walk in, it's bright, happy and distracting. That's really what we aim to do.

How did local makers and local woman business owners get integrated into your inventory? It actually has been something that we've had since we started as renters only when

we first started in 2018. We carried one female-made brand and it was a line of perfume oils that we got from a friend in Los Angeles. Those are really popular and I saw that people were really connecting with the maker's story and why I chose to put her in my shop. That got me really excited and I just wanted to keep filling my store with women that I believed in, but also believed in me. When I first started, it was hard to get vendors to want to work with me, because I have no proof of concept. There were those who were on board too and that was the most amazing thing. I think that sense of community is something that's helped my business, especially in the pandemic. Relying on other artists, makers, businesses and just working together instead of against each other.

What have been some of the biggest rewards throughout this entire Carmine & Hayworth journey? I have young girls, young men and those who are older that come in here. They get a sense of relief when they come in here and see that this is a place that understands them. We love everyone and

we want everyone to come here and feel like they have a safe place where they are accepted. It was that place that I wish I had when I was younger and I just want everybody coming in to know that they're an integral part of this business. It's because of them that businesses like this survive. To let them know that they matter is everything.

Would you have any advice for your former self? Or maybe some advice to a future woman business owner? I would say, don't be afraid to be disliked. You're not gonna please everybody, and you're gonna crack some eggs along the way. To stand firm on what you believe in as a business owner and even as a person is vital. It's important that you know your message and portray that message in the right way.

How can the FargoMoorhead-West Fargo community help Carmine & Hayworth?

I think now more than ever, it's giving alternatives to customers. I want people to know that you don't have to come in and spend a lot of money. I would say to do the "free things" like sharing our social media posts and whatnot because social media is expensive. A lot of businesses can't afford to pay for ads so the best way is to just engage. Word of mouth is huge. Even just coming in and saying hi is incredible. I don't think people understand just how much that helps a business.

DRUTHERS owner Holly Kraft. 22 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

DRUTHERS DRUTHERS offers stylish and affordable clothes to men with a variety of tastes.

Menswear is not something that is always top of mind when you mention the word "boutique". That word will often conjure up images of women's-oriented clothing stores. However, where can the everyday guy go to look his best? The short answer is DRUTHERS in south Fargo. Owner Holly Kraft has developed a passion for menswear thanks to her wide experience in the fashion and retail industry. Kraft previously worked for large companies like SCHEELS, Vanity and Straus Clothing before developing the passion to start her own business. Recognizing a need in the community, Kraft

created DRUTHERS in an attempt to provide a "middle ground" between extremely high-end menswear and the department store chain. A commitment to comfortable yet affordable clothing has helped Kraft find that true middle ground. DRUTHERS is now the first store of its kind in the area and has the market cornered all to itself at the moment. The passion and fervor to provide the average guy the best possible clothes is what makes DRUTHERS special. It is also what makes its owner, Holly Kraft, special to our community as well.

"I'll always be open and honest with you while you're in here shopping and I'll be your resource for fashion, fit and just making sure that you look your best. I want everyone to come in knowing that I'm here for you and trust that I've got your best interests at heart. I'm not going to try to sell you something that doesn't look good." - Holly Kraft What has been your background in retail? And how did that lead you to start this business? I've been in retail my whole life. I went to school for Apparel and Textiles in the Retail Merchandising emphasis at NDSU. When I was in the program, there were two options and I chose Retail Merchandising because it was businessfocused. There were courses on buying, building and sustaining a business in this industry.. After college, I worked at SCHEELS in Moorhead as a shop manager for two different shops and their visual display manager for the entire store. From there, I worked for Straus Clothing and a.k.a. (owned by Straus Clothing) too. That is where I developed a love for locally-owned small business. I really love the environment, the flexibility and communicating with customers. That's one thing you don't get in a corporate office. I also worked at the Vanity home office. My role there was a Senior Business Analyst and I forecasted sales trends and reviewed inventory management. Essentially, I studied the nitty-gritty detail and data of corporate sales for anywhere between 150 to 175 stores and recommended future actions based on my findings. After Vanity, I landed back at SCHEELS in the corporate office as a vendor analyst

24 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

in hardlines. I helped the buying teams and stores review their sales and propose reorders.Then, I moved over to logistics, which is shipping and receiving for the stores. It was really enlightening to be immersed in that process because you learn how a product is transferred from the vendor to the retailer. Oftentimes, you don't really think about how an item gets to the store in the most cost-effective way. After I left SCHEELS, I decided to start DRUTHERS. I've always really loved being in a boutique and I've always really loved the small business impact in this community. I discovered that's what I really wanted to do.

And how did menswear become your primary focus or niche for DRUTHERS? I had a couple of ideas floating around in my head because I knew I wanted to own my own business. I had experience in menswear when I worked for Straus Clothing and a.k.a.. Straus was more traditional menswear; suits and ties, while a.k.a. was premium casual to dressy clothing. I developed my love of men's fashion there. I enjoy working with people in the men’s industry and I like following men's trends. They actually correlate really well with women's fashion trends. If there's something that's hitting big in women's, sometimes, you'll see the men's version and vice versa. It's really fun to watch that balance.

I also knew there was an opportunity within the community. It was great timing because there aren’t many establishments like DRUTHERS in the Fargo metro. There are many women's boutiques and I felt like the people who are running those are doing it really well. I didn't need to be another competitor to the amazing businesswomen in the community, I wanted to fulfill a need and that happened to be a men's clothing store.

What were some of the biggest challenges in starting this business? The whole thing in its entirety is a challenge because I really didn't know where to start. If you've never owned your own business before, even some of the language is a little different. There's a lot of things in each area of developing a business that I just never had exposure to. Because of that, I leaned on mentors from previous roles to help me understand what was needed to open up a business from the ground up. They were able to help, at least from their experiences, but nothing's ever the same. I couldn't expect that what they shared with me would be my experience. I knew it was not going to go by the book in any sense, but at least talking with them gave me some insight into what could happen. In developing DRUTHERS, I was lucky to have people in my life to go to who had done it before.

What piece of advice would you give to fellow women looking to start their own business? This is a difficult question to answer! I'm still learning. I try to be like a sponge and I really want to absorb all the knowledge I can from the people around me. With what I know today, my biggest piece of advice is to never compare yourself to somebody else or somebody else's business. Even somebody else's social page, somebody else's aesthetic, too. It’s so hard but try to focus on yourself, build what you want to build and focus on your message. Make sure you're attending to what you can control and what's going to make your business grow. Don't compare yourself to somebody else, because they're completely different.

What have been some of your biggest rewards throughout this process? This experience has forced me to look within myself and really understand who I am and what I want to contribute to the world. Another thing that is so rewarding is that I'm doing it. It's the fact that I was able to develop this business, we're open, we're running and I have customers who love this store and I love them. There's this mutual gratitude between myself and everybody that walks in the door. My customers appreciate what I'm doing, they can appreciate what I'm trying to build, and I appreciate them for supporting us. I'm so proud of myself for being able to do this, even though the last 12 months have been less than ideal. I'm so appreciative of the people who have come in to support me early on and to the people that have spread the word and told all their friends and family.

In your mind, what makes DRUTHERS stick out? My goal is to make this a place where guys can come and get clothing that looks good, feels good and is super comfortable. That is my niche: everyday clothing, amazing comfort at a really good price. There was this huge opportunity in the community that allowed me to bring men’s brands and styles that people may not have seen before and provide elevated basics at a decent price point.

My other niche is I'm trying to grow sustainable, ethical and eco-friendly brand awareness. About half of my store is sustainable whether it's something that they do to replenish the environment or the use of organic and recycled materials. Some brands do things like cleaning water, picking up trash, planting trees, using wind turbine power or recycling plastic bottles for actual materials. Using materials like hemp, which is naturally organic, is another way a company can produce sustainable clothing. Fashion can be a detrimental industry with how quickly it'll fill a landfill and if we can prevent that in any way, I'm here for it. One way DRUTHERS personally gives back is through our web orders. For every online sale, we donate $1 to one of three charities. At the end of each transaction, the customer can choose which charity resonates most with them personally and that is where I will donate $1 in honor of their support. A lot of companies will say 'do you want to donate $1?' I didn’t want to do that. It was important for me that the donation came from DRUTHERS but I

28 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

wanted to give you the choice of where it goes.

What can the FargoMoorhead-West Fargo community do to help DRUTHERS? Definitely stopping by to take a peak at what we offer! A lot of people may have seen a printed article about us, a radio advertisement or even a social post, but haven’t had the chance to come in. Stop by and check us out! I'll always be open and honest with you while you're shopping and I'll be your resource for fashion, fit and making sure that you look your best. I want everyone to come in knowing that I'm here for you and trust that I've got your best interests at heart. I'm not going to try to sell you something that doesn't look good. Word of mouth has been the most amazing driver of growth for me because people trust their friends. If you've taken the time

to come in and you love it, telling people you shopped at DRUTHERS is by far the most rewarding thing for me. When that next customer comes in and says 'so and so told me to come in because they absolutely loved it', it’s the best feedback. It let’s me know that customers are loving what we’re providing to the community. Once you’re here, my goal is to convert you into loving it, too.

Jade + Jasper owner Ashley Nowacki.

jade + jasper As one of the first businesses in the budding new The Lights development in West Fargo, Jade + Jasper offers women a retail-therapy escape.

The Coronavirus pandemic has hit small businesses especially hard. It has taken a great deal of mental fortitude to continue to operate small businesses across the country. Even riskier is opening a small business during these pandemic times. Jade + Jasper owner Ashley Nowacki took those risks and was able to make them pay off. Nowacki did not attend school for business nor did she attend university for any sort fo retail or merchandising training. In fact, she went to school for communications and remained in that field for a number of years. Yet, Nowacki was unfulfilled in her creative life. That is what led her down the road of business ownership. The result is Jade + Jasper, which specializes in women's clothing and providing retail therapy inside the new The Lights district in West Fargo. Perhaps more importantly, Nowacki has become a role model to her daughter Jade (for whom the store is named) throughout this process. Nowacki gave birth to her second child while preparing Jade + Jasper for its grand opening. Her success as a business owner has trickled down to her life as a mom. With her budding business, she is teaching her kids that anything is possible.

You said you originally went to school for communications. How do you end up starting your own small business from that? It's a long story. I feel like I have that right brain and left brain balance and I'm only happy if both of those are being satisfied. I was in the event world for a while right out of college and I did some media buying too. For a long time, the event world kind of lit my soul on fire. It satisfied both. Then I fell into media buying and it was definitely catered more to that left brain. I still felt that need to do something creative though. So I actually started with a multilevel marketing company just to get that creative fire going on the side. I just fell in love with meeting with women and helping them find things that made them feel good about themselves and I wanted to take it to that next level. Now, my creativity doesn't have any bounds anymore. I get to do what I want and just let my creativity run wild. That is what kind of led me here, but it took a while to get there.

What were some of the biggest hurdles in starting Jade + Jasper? I think learning to trust my gut and knowing that things will work out. That is kind of the biggest thing that I'm always working through. I was really taking a leap when I did this. It took me a while to basically build up those wings and go because there is really no one here teaching me how to do this stuff. It's trying to push a business and make it bigger and better every day. In that respect, I am learning as I go in many respects.

On the opposite side of that, what have been the biggest rewards? This experience has been very rewarding. They always say 'once you work for yourself, you'll never want to go back'. I have been thinking 'why didn't I do this sooner?'

32 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

"Women will come in here and they'll come in on their lunch break and say they just Need a minute. They needed a minute to themselves before they pick up the kids or before they go back to work. They just needed a little retail therapy. Luckily, I get to provide that for them, which is rewarding for me too." - ashley nowacki

It's a risk that I took and some days are harder than others, but I don't regret it at all. I love it. I think the biggest reward has been doing this with my family. My husband is also an entrepreneur and he has had my back from day one. The store is named after my eight-year-old daughter and she thinks it's the coolest thing ever. Seeing her even tell her little friends or tell her teachers about it and be proud of me is amazing.

And how impactful do you think this process has been for your daughter? To see her mom succeed at something like starting a business. I think it's been really impactful to her. I think she is very proud of me. I think she has a confidence about her where she doesn't feel like there's anything she can't do. She is invincible in her own mind. I like to think that some of that came from me and showing her that you can do the things you want if you work for it. There's nothing that you can't do if you work hard and you can see that confidence in her now. It's just really something and it's so fun to watch.

Fashion and shopping have so many different niches. How did you settle on women's clothing as the base of Jade + Jasper? I think you have to be a shopaholic at heart to do this, right? I get to shop and I get to shop for others. Then, there is just something about that connection with women that come in here. We just have a lot of fun. Like on Saturday, my store was buzzing, we had music going and there was just something fun about that. It's a great atmosphere. I think part of it is that there is a lot of pressure on women these days, right? You're a mom, you're working hard, you have to remember everything, you have to plan birthday parties, plan vacations, grocery shop, meal plan, work out and do all these things. There has to be an outlet for that because otherwise women get burnt out. Women will come in here and they'll come in on their lunch break and say they just need a minute. They needed a minute to themselves before they pick up the kids or before they go back to work. They just needed a little retail therapy. Luckily, I get to provide that

for them, which is rewarding for me too. Sometimes, you just need something for yourself and if it's just coming in and looking at pretty things, then so be it.

What sort of advice would you give your former self before this whole journey began? That's a really good question. I need to remind myself of this every day, but just to give myself grace. I'm very hard on myself and I think we're all our own worst critics. I wake up every day thinking about what I can do better. Figuring out what I need to do to change. That can be taxing. I think to give myself grace would be the thing I would tell myself. Also, to just enjoy it. This last year has been an absolute blur with everything that has happened. At times, it seems like we needed things to speed up and we wanted to fast forward through it. Then there were times where things were moving a little too fast. I feel like I've taken little mental pictures throughout the journey. However, I need to take time to relax and actually enjoy the journey too.

What can the FargoMoorhead-West Fargo community do to help Jade + Jasper? Shopping local is so important, especially now. If you have a good experience, pass that along. I feel like so often, you only share if you have a bad experience somewhere. If you have a good experience here, please tell your friends. Please share the word, continue to check us out and give us a chance. Maybe you don't find something the first time you come in, but give us a second chance to try again. The power of sharing the word is massive, especially now.

Red River Coffee Company Owner Jessica Arneson.

red river coffee company Red River Coffee Company is looking to provide a taste of home in south Fargo.

Jessica and Jered Arneson have small-town hearts. The Fargo couple has built a family and a life around the values instilled in them by their elders. It is those values and that hard-working spirit that have allowed the Arneson's to flourish in the world of small business. Their part-coffee shop, part-boutique, Red River Coffee Company, is a testament to that. Specializing in espresso drinks and delicious homemade baked goods, breakfast items and ice cream, Red River Coffee also has products made by over 20 different local artists. The coffee sold at Red River Coffee pictures Arneson's grandparents on the label.

The centerpiece of the entire space is a wood table that once belonged to Arneson's grandparents. An antique coffee urn sits atop one of the bookcases, it has been in the Arneson family for over 100 years. This commitment to family heritage and tradition make Red River Coffee Company a very homey place for locals. It is that taste of home, through coffee, a donut, a sandwich or a homemade product, that makes Red River Coffee Company such a beloved locale in the community. Their mission and approach to running a small business are also worthy of being championed and showcased.

"We are small-town people. Our vision was to create a space in our neighborhood that would provide a nostalgic experience to our customers, like those that had shaped our lives. We wanted to provide a place that feels like home to everyone who walks in, regardless of age, socioeconomic status or interests. It is our goal to have something for everyone." - jessica arneson When did you first want to open up your own business? With both of us coming from families with small businesses, my family had a cafe for two generations and Jered's [my husband] family has had a bakery for three. We had always had the possibility of moving back and continuing on some form of our families' businesses for another generation in the back of our minds. But then we became settled in Fargo, and it became our home.

What steps did you take to ensure that you could achieve this goal of opening a business? To our understanding, Red River Coffee was the first coffee shop in Fargo, opening its doors in the 25th Street Marketplace under its first owners in 1985. Back in a time when options were pretty much limited to a can of Folgers or Maxwell House, Red River Coffee brought espresso drinks and coffee beans from all over the world. Eventually, it moved into the Pioneer Village business strip in West Fargo under its second owner and then transitioned into a kiosk at the Fargodome, selling lattes and mochas during many events throughout the year.

38 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Our daughter, Riley, worked at the kiosk through high school. In 2015, after helping out at a few Bison Games we had the opportunity to purchase the business, thinking it would be a fun side gig, and it was. As our daughter was getting ready to go off to college, we began to explore the possibility of bringing Red River Coffee back into the community full time!

What were some of the biggest challenges in starting a business and what currently challenges you and your business? When we found our location, at the end of a business strip on 52nd Ave. and 25th St. S, ours was the last business to come into the building. The roof and external walls surrounding a dirt floor were the only things there. Thanks to Paul at the Small Business Development Center, we went through the process of applying for and receiving an SBA [Small Business Loan] to make our vision a reality. Starting a small business of any type is scary and risky, especially in the realm of food and beverage, and committing to the cost of construction on top of a lease was definitely not for the faint of heart.

At each step along the way, Jered and I would check on each other, lock hands and step forward, knowing that we were taking a leap of faith and that failure would literally mean moving "into a van down by the river". The first two years we both worked every single day, 80-100 hours a week, so one of the biggest challenges was self-care. We took turns being the strong one and being the exhausted one. Through time our processes became more established and we began to identify patterns throughout the year that helped us run more smoothly and a healthy balance has been restored to our lives.

Where did the idea for Red River Coffee come from? A coffeehouse/boutique is a very unique model. How did you formulate that combination? Like many Fargoans, we are small-town people. Our vision was to create a space in our neighborhood that would provide a nostalgic experience to our customers, like those that had shaped our lives. We wanted to provide a place that feels like home to everyone who walks in, regardless of age, socioeconomic status or interests. It is our goal to have something for everyone!

What have been some of the biggest rewards in owning and operating Red River Coffee? On any given day, there will be a group of ladies laughing and sharing stories at one table, a group of long time buddies solving the world's problems at another table, a family with small children playing a game at another, an elderly couple on a date at another, students studying at another and a business meeting at yet another. They all belong here and we belong to them, we are their coffee shop and that makes us so proud.

How special is it to have your family history woven into your business? Being surrounded by mementos of our grandparents throughout our shop keeps us grounded, as these are our roots. We were both always very close to our modest, hard-working grandparents, and have a great appreciation for the time they were raised in where resources were scarce, nothing was wasted and everything was made by hand. Because of this, everything we make is made by hand inspired by age-old recipes from family or from my favorite old church cookbooks. It means so much to us when customers tell us that our donuts taste just like their moms, or our kuchen tastes just like their grandma's, it is a gift and a pleasure to remind someone of home.

What are some goals you have set for yourself and Red River Coffee in the future? We are currently working on setting up partnerships with delivery businesses like DoorDash. That way, our goods can come to you when you can't get to us.

Lastly, what is the best way the community can help Red River Coffee? What are some action items our readers can use to help support? Just keep coming on in. In addition to coffee and breakfast, we have great wholesome lunches, hand-scooped ice cream and gift items from over 20 local artists. We are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.

The Making Of:

The Hall At FBC

42 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

The vision: An Initial Nudge

"The funny thing is when Fargo Brewing started in 2010, I didn't know any of the owners. I sent them an email just saying that we should consider combining venues like we are here. At the time, they kind of dismissed me and the idea, but then here we are now. At some point later, we started doing events with them in the parking lot and we started handling their anniversary parties that they would have every year in the parking lot. In 2019, I came on board as a partner and bought out two of the founders. At that point, we immediately talked about how we could redevelop the building." - Jade Nielsen, founder & president, Jade Presents

Laying Out The Hall

"When we first started looking at renovating the building, we had a very different initial

idea on where people would come in. We worked with three different architects and we ended up working with Chris Hawley on it. He is somebody that has renovated old buildings and he owns buildings that have been renovated as well. So he looks at a space and wonders how can we lay it out differently. Chris kind of gravitated to the natural light on the south side of the building. In creating the patio on the south side, we had always kind of written it off because of the railroad tracks. Once you clean it up with grass and a perimeter fence, it's going to be a great private little space. From there, we knew we had to move the grain room, but we also didn't want to have to change any plumbing or the production area. For the event space, we didn't know initially what we were going to do with it because it used to be offices. I had initially had the idea of doing a barbershop and a tattoo shop in here

too. Unfortunately, the tattoo shop that was going to come in opted to open in Moorhead. I think it was initially planned to have a barbershop, tattoo shop, coffee shop, food vendor and a taproom venue. So we really have not deviated from what we planned outside of the tattoo shop. We haven't filled the coffee shop, but part of that is because we're being incredibly picky about what sort of shop we want in there." - Jade Nielsen

What The Space Means For Jade Presents

"For us at JP, we've always wanted to develop more spaces. We're involved in The Sanctuary, Bluestem and The Fargo Theatre, but we don't own those venues. The idea of being able to cultivate something here with the brewery folks just seemed like a good match." - Jade Nielsen

The Event Space What The Hall Means To Fargo-Moorhead

"I think the word community ties into this space. As we look at designing this space and bringing in different aspects, we want this to be a community, too. Now, we can allow all ages in this space, we can allow parents to come in with kids, Maybe dad has a beer, mom gets a coffee and the whole family orders from the food truck. That aspect sort of ties into what we want to cultivate in our own space. However, we also want to add to the neighborhood. There will be a restaurant going up across the street here and now this corner is really growing into something for the community." - Jade Nielsen

The lounge Fargo Brewing Company Taproom What The Hall Means To Fargo Brewing

"This is something that we've been working towards for years. For all of our employees, music is a very huge influence in our day-to-day. Over the years, we've been kind of building that history of Fargo Brewing and live events. We've done smaller events inside the taproom and stuff like that, but this just gives us a larger venue to be able to put interesting things for ourselves and the rest of the Fargo-Moorhead community." Zach Click, operations manager, Fargo Brewing

The Hall's Impact On FargoMoorhead

"We know that these concerts and the stuff Jade Presents offers are huge assets to our community. Not only people who live in this area, but it brings people to Fargo-Moorhead, too. When people come to town, they're staying at local hotels, going to local restaurants. All of that is bringing a lot more revenue dollars to our city other than just us, right? For us, we always say high tides raise all boats and I think a space like this can help the whole community, not just our business." - Zach Click

Nice Barber Co. Inception Of A Barbershop

"Part of this whole Nice Barber Co. concept stems from Jade and I discussing just how much life throws at you. It always feels painstaking to do anything and there's never enough time in the day. Wouldn't it be nice where you could go somewhere, get a haircut, grab a bite to eat and grab a beer? But barbershops are no different from any other job because the hours are pretty similar. We thought that we would open a little later and stay open a bit later. There is really not a barbershop like that in Fargo. We understand that you without our customer, we don't have a business, so how about we make that customer experience the best we can?" - Branden Ashmore, owner/barber, Nice Barber Co.

What Customers Can Expect From Nice Barber Co.

"I want people to show up here and I want them to feel like their home. We're all small-town guys here, too. I came from a farming community of 500 people and Jade is from Valley City. We're all from such a small area, that there's a lot of things that the big city changed in our lives. There are little things you forget, but I want people to come to the shop and feel welcome. You don't even have to come in for a cut, just come in and say hi and hang out. We want this to be an old school barbershop feel with some new twists to it." Branden Ashmore

What The Hall Means To Nice Barber Co.

"I want people to come in here and forget about everything they have going on, I want to make people feel welcome. I want it to feel like running into an old high school friend when you come here. Everybody wants a sense of belonging and I feel like that's something that we'll be able to give. We wanted to incorporate so much of that 'Midwestern nice' upbringing and I think it comes through in our work." - Branden Ashmore

Nova eatery

What Nova Eatery Brings To The Hall

"After years of partnering with our Fargo Brewing Co. friends, we think we’ve developed a pretty good understanding of the variety of different beers they bring to the table. Chef Ryan has worked hard to create a menu exclusive to FBC that will compliment not only the beers but also the relaxed vibe of the space. With a style best described as elevated American comfort food on a rotating food truck sized menu, it is our goal to offer something different to the community and unique to FBC." - Nikki Berglund, co-owner, Nova Eatery.

The Hall's Impact On The Community

"Fargo Brewing is the OG local brewery in these parts and I think the fact that they have operated a successful and increasingly popular business for so long, really speaks to how important they are. Whether you are talking about their original gathering space or the new and improved version, people have always loved the FBC experience and we look forward to being a part of it." - Nikki Berglund

What The Hall Means To Nova Eatery

"We feel so honored that they approached us to partner up with them. We have always valued our friendship and love to collaborate with FBC whenever we are given the opportunity. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us in this new venture." - Nikki Berglund

Let's Talk Snacking

It's that time of the day again. In between meals, but still hungry? Already eaten all of your meals for the day and you're still craving something? That opens the door for that dreaded eightletter word.

S-N-A-C-K-I-N-G We have all been there, right? In desperate need of something to eat, we reach for the quick fix. Oftentimes, that quick fix turns into an unhealthy decision. I know I have had far too many days where I eat so well and stick to my diet only to pull the ice cream out of the fridge after dinner. So how can you approach snacking from a healthy perspective? The simple way would be to rid your house of any snack that could be considered unhealthy. While there is nothing wrong with that approach, I feel it may be a bit extreme. As I've stated in the past, it is okay to treat yourself. In fact, I think indulging every once and a while helps keep you on a meal plan. Drowning out your day with the same foods can become extremely dull. Integrating a

sweet or salty treat once or twice a week probably will not harm you (depending on what you're eating). An issue arises when we find ourselves heading to the pantry every evening. In my view, the best way to approach snacking is by finding healthy alternatives to your unhealthy snacks. Last month, I listed five snacks that can be healthy alternatives. Do you enjoy potato chips after a long day at work? Try substituting Quest brand's protein chips. It may sound crazy, but I prefer those over your typical Dorito, Frito, etc. In the spirit of snacking, here are five more alternatives to try introducing to your diet this month.

5 MORE HEALTHY SNACKS TO TRY AT HOME Halo Top Ice Cream Calories: 100-150 Carbs: 17-19g Fats: 3g Protein: 6-7g

Ice cream is my number one vice in life. I am seriously obsessed with ice cream and I know that I cannot survive without it. Halo Top is an amazing brand (can be found pretty much anywhere in town) that promotes having a healthy alternative to your fattier ice creams. The fat content varies on the flavor (there are some amazing flavors to choose from too. I would suggest red velvet or chocolate mocha chip), but it is significantly healthier than regular ice cream. It also adds a nice dollop of protein which normal ice cream usually does not provide.

Crunchy Chickpeas Calories: 120 Carbs: 18g Fats: 3g Protein: 6g

An amazing snack that I did not know existed until recently. Comparable to an almond, peanut or cashew, these crunchy chickpeas offer a nice "snacky" feel. However, it has less fat than your nut of choice. It also provides a nice protein kick with naturally occurring carbohydrates.

Dessert Hummus Calories: 50 Carbs: 9g Fats: 1g Protein: 1g

File this under foods that should be way more popular than they are. In theory, dessert hummus sounds like an odd amalgamation for texture and flavor. With a variety of flavors (dark chocolate, carrot cake, mint chocolate, etc.) available, it can seem too good to be true. Yet, this delightful treat is low in sugar and offers little to no sugar additives. When looking for a healthy dessert, added sugar is one of the big keys. Try this with pretzels or a dippable snack of choice.

quick way to get a serving of fruit in. Be sure to check the added sugars here. Ideally, a good fruit cup will have zero added sugars to it.

Powdered Peanut Butter Calories: 60 Carbs: 5g Fats: 1.5g Protein: 6g

This one is a little outside the box, but I think it's an intriguing alternative to normal peanut butter. The powdered version has almost 90 percent less fat than your standard peanut butter. Let me be clear too, I am one of normal peanut butter's biggest fans, so do not think I am discrediting all-natural peanut butter. It's just a known fact that regular peanut butter needs to be consumed in moderation because it is so high in fat. Throw in a few tablespoons of powdered peanut butter in a protein shake or any beverage and you can get all the peanut butter flavor with less guilt.

Individual Fruit Cups Calories: 60 Carbs: 15g Fats: 0g Protein: 1g

Yes, you will feel a little "too old for this" when you open up a fruit cup, but think about its versatility. It's portable, which makes it great for a snack at any point of the day. For those who do not like buying fresh fruit, these cups obviously last a while in the pantry too. It's also a

Butter Creations By Anne

utter Creations by Anne began with a honey butter recipe so wonderful it needed to be shared. What started out as a Christmas gift for close friends and family grew to a line of products that can now be found in grocery and retail store coolers throughout North Dakota and Minnesota. Since late 2014, Anne and Adam Adrian have been perfecting their art, creating new flavors and expanding their product’s reach. Before AllRecipes, Epicurious, New York Times Cooking and the endless blogs online, a recipe had to be tried and true before being written in the family recipe book. That means it was either shared by a loved one, a trusted friend, copied from a cookbook or magazine after being tested, perfected and determined it made the cut. This made it worthy of a page in the book and the use of your best handwriting. This husband and wife duo can be found buzzing throughout the kitchen and the region sharing their love for honey butter by restocking their numerous wholesale

accounts and charming their customers at trade shows. Let’s be real though, it’s not always honey and spice and everything nice having your partner in life be your partner in business, but this couple has found a way to play to each other’s strengths. From Adam’s creative flavor creations (did someone say Prickly Pear Honey Butter?) to Anne’s eye for design and attention to detail, they have found their natural groove and have grown this business from a few jars as gifts to a staple in fridges from Dickinson, North Dakota, to Perham, Minnesota. A smooth blend of honey, butter and cream with so many flavor options you’ll have to try them all to find your favorite. Adam loves Huckleberry on toast while Anne loves the Original Honey Butter on banana bread and cornbread. Their customers have come up with so many great uses for their products including melting it and topping popcorn, creating an addictive kettle corn-esque treat. Add some Maple Honey Butter to your roasted sweet potatoes or top some ice cream with melted Strawberry Rhubarb and you will not regret it one little bit. It’ll likely be the best decision you made that day.

Starting a business is no easy task. Starting a food business and getting in local retailer coolers is an even more daunting task. From labeling nutritional information to branding, everything plays a part in a retailer’s decision to put your product in their store. Butter Creations by Anne started by targeting local retailers that fit their target market. Red Silo was the first to carry their products locally, followed by SCHEELS Home and Hardware. Baker Garden and Gift and Breadsmith filled out their local boutique retailers. Now, you can find Butter Creations by Anne at Hornbacher’s and Cash Wise with new flavors being introduced regularly. Another outlet that has really helped them grow has been being a Pride of Dakota member. From showcase events to meeting other vendors and hearing their stories, it has helped Anne and Adam take their honey butter business further. Now they have expanded to offering fundraising opportunities for school and youth groups as well as seeking out retailers in every larger community within the state. So, swing on by any of the following locations and grab yourself a jar or two or three. Honey butter makes a wonderful gift and has so many uses. As a bonus, you know it was made locally with great care and passion by two wonderful people.

Kasta A

s we keep things local and fashion-infused for this issue, we can’t wait to introduce you to kasta here in Fargo-Moorhead! We’ve loved their clean, minimalist beautiful jewelry and the creative duo behind it - Kelly & Jessie.

Tell us a bit about yourself: Well, I grew up in Washington, D.C., and moved to North Dakota about five years ago. My background is in the arts. Performing arts, culinary arts, etc. I’ve known for years that I wanted to create a successful business model for myself, my family and my community. Now that I’ve done that, to be honest, I don’t have time for a lot of hobbies. My dream is actively coming true, so I try to focus most of my attention on that. I do enjoy trying new foods though, as well as watching good documentaries. But mostly, I’m learning about business and experimenting with new flavors and ideas. What you create under Uncle Charlie's Gourmet Snacks? Uncle Charlie’s Gourmet Snacks makes five flavors (Banana Split, Brownie Truffle, Cotton Candy, Orange Creamsicle and Red Velvet) of a gourmet spin on what is known regionally as “puppy chow.” We start with rice squares, coat them in gourmet chocolates and our proprietary blend of flavors, then toss them in powdered sugar. Each batch is handmade right here in Fargo and we take great pride in that. We are also releasing a line of Charlie’s Chocolate Crunch Bars this fall 2021; they’re going to knock your socks off!

52 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

Tell us where your name came from? Kelly: I was born and raised in Minnesota but now live across the river in Fargo with

my husband, two young daughters and our ragdoll named Princess Fluffy Marshmallow. I have worked in the senior care field for over 15 years in senior housing, hospice and homecare all while making and selling my artistic creations online, in coffee shops and boutiques. I love color and how it shifts a moment or a mood. Visitors to my home are welcomed by a bright yellow door and lots of bold tones. I joke that artwork is my therapy. My friends and family will tell you that I'm most happy when I'm creating something, and my hands are full of paint. People have always asked me how I got to be so creative, and I like to tell them that I ate glue as a kid. Jessie: I live in Moorhead, Minn., with my husband, our high school-aged son and a variety of pets. We also have a daughter in college. I work full-time running the histology lab for NDSU’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. I am passionate about home design, DIY everything, woodworking, blogging, painting and refinishing, home remodeling and basically anything that involves building and creativity. Over the last 10 years my wood and furniture designs through my business, deuglied designs, have been featured in local boutiques and publications and even won

the 2015 General Finishes national design contest in the category of Best Staging. For me, having a creative outlet is about as important as air and food, and I tend to tackle my endeavors with an obsessive degree of gusto, some might use the word “obsession”. Describe what you create under kasta? We create modern, minimalist handmade concrete jewelry that blurs the lines of architecture and fashion. Each creation is surprisingly lightweight, weighing only a fraction of an ounce and is completely unique from one piece to the next. At kasta, we celebrate the beauty in our individuality, and that’s what makes concrete such a remarkable medium to work with. Tell us where your name came from? The word “kasta” is old Norse meaning “to throw in” or “cast”. That’s what we do – we create molds, take raw concrete and then cast it into a shape. We take that shape and turn it into something beautiful. Because we like to do things a little offcenter at kasta, we use a lowercase “k” in our business name to keep people on their toes, and if you look closely, you’ll see “JK” in our logo as well. Your personal favorite piece you've created? Kelly: My favorite piece is the first pair of earrings I ever created. I still wear them all of the time; I’m wearing them today. They’re circular drop earrings with no added color. Just plain concrete that shows unique texture and tiny imperfections that look beautifully unique – like a wearable work of art. Jessie: That’s a hard one! The color-blocked concrete jewelry is fun and playful, and the raw concrete and metallic gilded jewelry are modern and chic. If I had to pick one to represent our brand, I suppose I would

What is your favorite thing about having your own business? Being creative breathes life into both of us. Working with a best friend on a medium that we love is one of the better decisions we’ve made in a long time.

Jessie: In the last 10 years, along with a fulltime career, some of my creative endeavors include entrepreneur, furniture restorer and painter, woodworker, interior designer and remodeler, writer, blogger, and now jewelry designer, maker, and co-owner of a small business. While I think it’s admirable to model hard work and drive for your children, I think I’d tell myself to chill out and enjoy my family and maybe pick a lane.

What is the most challenging thing? Kelly: Trying not to let outside voices impact our vision. As creative perfectionists, we have so many ideas. It’s hard to hold back, pace ourselves and focus on one thing at a time.

Where can people find your work? We’re active on social media and plan to participate in a handful of pop-up shops and events each year. We also are very pleased to sell our products at Unglued in Downtown Fargo.

pick the mica pendant necklaces, they are unique and classic. But you’ll see me most in our earrings, I love them all!

Jessie: Being seen! What people don’t realize when you own a small online business is that you’re not just creating a product, you are a website designer, photographer, purchaser, accountant, delivery service and marketer. We are constantly striving to get better in these areas, especially marketing. What are you looking forward to with your business in 2021? Introducing more people to kasta and bringing other elements to our designs such as wood, metals, aggregates and new colors. We’ve only scratched the surface.

How can our community support you – especially in this pandemic time? Give any company that you follow on social media some love by engaging with them and their posts. This is huge for small businesses. Any time we make a sale an actual person at kasta does a happy dance.

What is a word that best describes you? Kelly: Colorful Jessie: Industrious What advice would you have given yourself 10 years ago? Kelly: You don’t have to pick just one thing. You can dabble in hobbies and different ventures all of your life. Don’t be afraid to try new things to see what sticks. Embrace your “weird”. Have fun and never grow up.

Meet Sir Steve French: A COMMUNITY ACTIVATOR

Warm Greetings

Where do you call home?

In times when the world is still healing from this global pandemic, where people long for human connection and as the enchanting Spring is preparing the way for the heartwarming Summer: I wanted to talk with a stellar individual who thrives at creating spaces and events where people can connect meaningfully.

My home is Fargo, N.D. I'm originally from Salt Lake City. Prior to coming to the area, I had a pretty colorful journey of a life. I left Salt Lake at about 24 to move to Brooklyn (NY) with a Black Metal record label I was working for at the time. 15 of us caravanned along with the entire label and its 300,000+ CDs across the country in the hopes of making it big. I ended up working for an experiential marketing firm on Wall Street, which took me all over the country creating experiences for worldwide brands.

In the fall of 2017, I met a special person at the Red River Market. At first glance you cannot miss him as he stands out by his stature and his worldly aura, making him a person I wanted to approach and learn from. Steve French is a community activator at Folkways with a focus on the administrative, production and operational needs of the team. Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, he has a background in brand mobile experience design. I feel fortunate to call him a friend I abundantly learn from at Folkways but foremost the Red River Valley is a better place because he proudly calls it his home away from his Utah home state. Next time you see him: be sure to ask him why he loves the F-M Area! Skol! Cyusa

54 | APRIL 2021 | FARGOMONTHLY.COM

With your passion for traveling, how did you land in Fargo? What keeps you busy here? I am not sure if I have a passion for travel, perhaps it is a result of doing it so much. I ended up in Fargo as several different circumstances came together. I had finished work I was doing in Austin, and my partner is from Fargo, so I came to visit and pretty much immediately fell in love with it. Currently, my days are spent full time with Folkways and the community projects we work on. Spending time with my partner and her two kids and a few smaller projects. Why should F-M area residents invest more in communitydriven curated experiences? "Pay attention to your 5 blocks" I would say that is at the core of it. You should care about where you live,

and care about others that live there as well. This line of thinking I feel guarantees the best opportunity for good outcomes for your life. Why should people care to read about outside the Midwest? As stated in the above question, you should care about where you live. Time spent on the road showed me that people have far more in common than they are different. Whether it is here in Fargo or any other place on earth. Invest in your community to make the best life for yourself. What are some misconceptions between smaller cities and larger, more metropolitan areas? Having spent a lot of time working in marketing, I am kind of averse for the most part to this one. People are people, of course, shaped by their environment and by

experiences. In urban spaces like New York City, you have a greater opportunity for a variety of experiences, while rural areas tend to be more stable. Each with its own pros and cons. What did you learn growing up between many cultures which you can apply in Fargo? My biggest take away has been that people are good, despite how much media wants us to believe otherwise. What is your vision 2030? Where will you be and why? I hope to be here in Fargo-Moorhead. I really do think it is a great place with quite a bit to offer if you can be a little creative. So many great people and to me the winter is not as bad as it is made out to be.
