money was raised for minot

last week i posted here about money for minot, a fundraiser for the flood victims in minot.

i want to thank each one of you who donated!

i’m beyond pleased. people were writing checks for $100 and over. a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!

a big thank you goes to go radio broadcasting, wday-am and the american red cross.

money for minot

the city of minot is in need of my help and yours. the souris {mouse} river has flooded minot braking the 1881 all-time record.

nevertheless, more than 4,000 houses have been damaged as the souris streamed the levees the past two days. heartbreaking.

here in fargo, and everywhere in the state of north dakota, people are coming together to help our far away neighbors of minot. if you are not familiar with the geography, minot is 5 hours northwest of fargo.

go radio broadcasting, a radio group in fargo, is putting together money for minot, along with wday-am and the american red cross, to help raise funds for the minot flood victims. they are gathering all its talent and staff on monday, june 27 from 8am to 6pm at the holiday inn parking lot on 13th avenue south {right across from west acres mall}.

the baking cup is donating cupcakes & cheesecakes to money for minot with all the proceeds going to our friends in need.

make sure you stop by and make your donation. oh, and get a cupcake or cheesecake, too.

spring in fargo-moorhead

so. this will be my second spring in fargo. i survived my first winter!

hmm, sort of. who agrees with me that it is still winter out there?

oh well, let’s get back to spring. it seems like we are all working against the flooding nowadays.

for all of you who are not familiar with the fargo-moorhead area, there is the red river which floods every spring. making the area hectic and businesses worry about routinely operations.

so. have i fought the flooding yet you wonder? silly question, right!? of course i have :)

a couple of weeks ago, i teamed up with Q98, the active rock radio station in Fargo for a good cause. actually, i just baked. they were the ones that did it all.

the Q98 crew has a cover band called “trapped in pants” and decided to play a few songs at the sandbag operations center in the city of moorhead. the music was dedicated to all volunteers sandbagging at the place. and. as a way to thank them for their precious time.

the band featured kvly’s chief meteorologist hutch johnson! kvly channel 11 is the local nbc affiliate. {click here to see trapped in pants on the local news!}

i baked vanilla nutella cupcakes.

hutch johnson ate one, too!

i was so excited to meet him and to see that he was eating one of the baking cup cupcakes that i forgot to take a photo !!! {this is when i wish i had a time machine}.

enjoy!
