We are so thankful for this community and the way you’ve allowed us to chase this crazy dream of Weekender.

Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart there’s a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and maybe a few late-night “what are we doing?” moments. But every bit of it is worth it when we look around and see the connections, joy, and community that have grown inside these walls over the last four years.

Weekender wouldn’t be what it is without our amazing team, our incredible customers, and our fellow small businesses who show up for each other every single day. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for choosing us, even when there might be easier or less expensive options out there

As you’re out and about this weekend (and honestly, all year long!), remember to shop local. It’s what keeps all of us doing what we love and serving the community we care so deeply about. ❤️

Congratulations to Shanel & Ashleigh Team 2 Real Estate for decorating our highest-selling tree! Not only was it gorgeously adorned, it also included a certificate for house-light installation and a Christmas light flight over the city of Minot! 🎄✨

Kudos on a beautiful tree, Shanel and Ashleigh — we appreciate all you do!

Long time, no post. (We’ve been in a post-FOT coma). 🥱

We’ll get some fun FOT 2025 posts up soon!
