💛 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🎤✨

What an unforgettable night at Unmask the Singer! We are so grateful to everyone who attended, donated, cheered, and helped make this fundraiser such a huge success. The energy in the room, the laughs, the suspense, and the incredible talent made it a night to remember—and every dollar raised goes toward supporting important work and children in our community.

A massive shout-out to our performers for bravely taking the stage, our volunteers and partners for making it all happen, The Original Bar and Nightclub, and everyone who spread the word. And of course… CONGRATULATIONS to our winner, Drew Hanson! 🏆👏 You absolutely crushed it and kept us guessing until the very end.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for showing up, supporting the cause, and making this event so special. We already can’t wait to do it again 💫

❄️ Those ice bumper cars you’ve been loving are a lasting part of winter at Citizens Alley.

Owned and operated by Local Motives, the nonprofit steward of Citizens Alley, the ice bumper cars will be rolling throughout the winter season and for years to come.

Booking typically opens by Mondays for the week ahead, giving our team time to watch the forecast and minimize weather-related cancellations. The link can be found at citizensalley.com/winter. We’re also growing our team to better meet the excitement and demand.

It’s been an incredibly fun month of rides already! Honestly, we can’t imagine winter in downtown Minot without them. 💙
