On The Stage at Island Park this weekend, Fargo Talk Radio Fargo Talk Radio by David Lassig & Shanara Lassig  Bare Stage Theatre is proud to present the premiere of Fargo Talk Radio by local playwright David Lassig.

This show will feature an all-female cast playing multiple roles. Don’t miss Cathy and Kathy in the morning presenting all the local news, the church basement ladies as they prepare for their annual hotdish and lutefisk social, the local sheriff’s report, and live calls in from listeners. Fargo Talk Radio will tickle your funny bone while keeping you informed of all the latest small-town news. Also this weekend, The Viking Route at The Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead. The Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County (HCSCC) is pleased to announce a talk and slide show by two of the original crew members of the Hjemkomst voyage to Norway. Paul Hesse and Mark Hilde were part of the original crew that sailed the Viking ship Hjemkomst to Norway more than 30 years ago.  At the time, the return sail from east to west could not be realized. However, in the summer of 2014, Hesse and Hilde had the opportunity to complete an east-to-west voyage following the same North Atlantic path the Vikings sailed more than 1,000 years ago. Hesse, who was the Hjemkomst navigator, and Hilde, the voyage cook, will share images of the trip which departed from Norway and went on to Iceland, Greenland and then North America, where it retraced the Hjemkomst’s voyage through the Great Lakes lock system to Bayfield, WI.  The voyage was made on the 40-foot sailboardRaven, owned and skippered by Dean Rau of Bayfield, WI.  Hesse’s son Eric, completed the four-person crew. The presentation is free with museum admission: Adults $10, Seniors and College Students $9, Youth (5-17) $8, under 5 Free. HCSCC Members with a membership card are also admitted free.
