Thank you, friends, for watching and working for North Dakota Today. It was a warm (in our hearts and bodies) day to talk about Melissa Markegard, my Nice Person of the Week, as well a great spot for food competitions and flag retirement ceremonies alike.

I asked Melissa if there was anything she wanted to tell you all, and she said:

I would like to say ‘thank you’ – to my family and friends, to each community partner and colleague, and to each individual who has been affected by suicide. I desire to improve the lives of those struggling. You are not alone. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat at https://988lifeline.org/
