Thank you, friends, for watching and working for North Dakota Today. It was a wonderful August day (and back-to-school week!) to talk about Danny, Chris, and Kelly Mapes, my Nice People of the Week, as well as an annual Valley City Parks & Rec event for those who like to go with the flow.

As promised, click here for more about Dare 2 Stand Out. In the words of Chris, “I think people sometimes hear “adaptive sports” and assume it’s only about athletics. It’s really about dignity, independence, families making memories together, and athletes being able to participate. And if our story inspires even one person to volunteer, donate, partner with us, or simply think differently about inclusion, then Danny’s legacy continues to grow, and we have succeeded in our mission. At the end of the day, that’s what this is all about. We want every person, regardless of ability, to have the chance to Dare 2 Stand Out.”

Also, click here for more on the upcoming events in Valley City – and Sheyenne RiverFest 2027 and the Valley Parks Craft & Vendor Show are on Saturday, August 7th, 2027, so save the date!
