The sun rose over Minot, casting long shadows across Oak Park. A bell rang out, signaling the start of the Tuesday Farmers Market. Farmers and makers set up their stalls, displaying fresh produce and handcrafted goods. The air was thick with the scent of ripe tomatoes and freshly baked bread. A few early risers wandered between the tables, filling their baskets with the bounty of North Dakota soil.
As the day wore on, the streets grew busier. At the Blue Rider, patrons gathered for a simple pleasure: grilled cheese and beer. The sandwiches were perfect – crisp on the outside, molten within. A tomato bisque reduction waited nearby for dipping. Some spoke in hushed tones about strange lights in the sky, a nod to World UFO Day. Others raised their Hamm’s in a quiet toast to the wildland firefighters, their bravery unspoken but understood. The simplicity of the moment was not lost on anyone there. It was Tuesday in Minot, and that was enough.
