Good morning, Minot.

Corey Long, honored as Minot’s Good Neighbor, delivered a $1,000 check to Our Lady of Grace Food Pantry yesterday to help fight hunger.

His donation follows his recognition at the State of the City event on April 6 (the pantry’s new building is set to open this spring).

Minot’s Jessica Ackerman of Citizens Alley won the Flint Firestarter Award for turning an underused alley into a lively spot, while Doug Bolken received the Legend Award for guiding McKenzie County Tourism — the ND Department of Commerce announced the 2026 Governor’s Travel and Tourism awards today.

Airlines are exploring merger talks that may affect local travel, with potential deals involving Sun Country and Allegiant or United and American.
