8. FMWF Chamber's Corporate Cup
The Chamber's annual Corporate Cup sold out this year, with a large number of businesses participating in this year's competitive and noncompetitive athletic events. Teams battled for points in activities such as basketball, an obstacle course, volleyball, cycling and more. We had a blast doing a little friendly competition, and we'll for sure be back next year. fmwfchamber.com (Photo by Dennis Krull, 5foot20 design lounge)

10. TEDxFargo 2016
One of the biggest TEDx events in the country happened again in Fargo this past July. This year's TEDxFargo event, which focused on the theme of acceleration in the community, saw over 20 speakers from around the country with thousands of people in attendance. The main event itself had a festival-like vibe with plenty of auxiliary and surrounding events for attendants to get even more involved with the ideas being spread. (Photo by J. Alan Paul Photography)
