Buffalo Barn Raisers

Hi folks- we want to apologize for being a bit more sporadic with event posts and especially with updating the calendar. We're really shorthanded right now, but our main volunteers will have time again in a couple of weeks. If you would be interested in volunteering with social media or with submitting events, we'd love the help! We meet every third Wednesday at 8 at Plankton (126 Fargo)- that's the 17th this month. You can also reach us by either messaging us on this page or by emailing us at [email protected] for more information.

Did you know that Mother's Day began as a call to action to improve the lives of families through health and peace? Ann Jarvis of Appalachia founded the precursor to Mother’s Day in 1858 to promote sanitation in response to high infant mortality. After the Civil War, abolitionist Julia Ward Howe made a Mother’s Day call to women to protest the carnage of war.
