History on Tap is back!

This October’s topic: 1938 – Bat Man Dies in Fargo

Puppies & Pints – Patio Edition!

We’re teaming up with Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue for a chill evening on the patio filled with cold beer and adoptable pups!

Date: October 2
Time: 6pm-8pm
Junkyard Patio

Come hang with some adorable adoptable dogs from Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue and enjoy a pint or two in the sunshine. For every pint sold during the event, we’ll donate $1 to Turtle Mountain to support their life-saving work.

Bring your own pup, meet some new furry friends, and soak up the vibes.

Let’s raise a glass (and some tails) for a great cause!

Gardener’s Market at Junkyard

Got too many tomatoes? More zucchini than you know what to do with? We’ve got the perfect solution! Join us for our Gardener’s Market, a community-style event where homegrown produce and baked goods find new homes and all for a great cause!

Here’s how it works:

It’s like a farmer’s market, but instead of selling your homegrown produce, we’ll be accepting free-will cash donations from anyone who wants to take produce home with them! All donations will go to the Dorothy Day Food Pantry.

Drop Off: Bring your extra garden produce or homemade baked goods to Junkyard at 4 PM. (Running late? No worries—come anytime and we’ll get you set up!). You do not need to stay for the full event unless you want to!
Market Opens: At 5 PM, everything will be available for the community in a pay-what-you-can market. We’ll be accepting free-will cash donations in exchange for whatever produce you want to take home.
For a Cause: 100% of proceeds go directly to the Dorothy Day Food Pantry. Any leftover produce and baked goods will also be donated.

You don’t need to bring produce to participate—everyone is welcome to shop, support, and give back. This is not a market for profit, but a chance to share the abundance of our gardens!

Join us for a fun and beginner friendly pottery class with Rising Dawn Ceramics on September 25th from 630-730pm where you'll sculpt and decorate two dip bowls while enjoying a Junkyard brew! (each ticket includes one pint of beer)

Once your work is sculpted, Kelsey from Rising Dawn Ceramics will bring it back to the pottery studio for a clear dip and firing. Then, on October 11th swing by 307 Main Ave S in Fargo from 10 AM to 3 PM to pick up your finished bowls! Pick ups can also be arranged for a later date if you are unavailable on the 11th.

Spots are limited, so grab your seat before they’re all gone!
