More Than Donuts: Meet the Civil Air Patrol Making a Difference in Williston

This event is more than just an excuse to grab a dozen glazed donuts (although no one’s judging if you do). It’s a chance to meet the dedicated members of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, and learn how they’re making a difference right here in North Dakota. The Williston Composite Squadron is inviting everyone—youth ages 12 to 18, adults 18 and up, and anyone curious about aviation, leadership, and community service.

From Cadets to Community Heroes: Explore CAP’s Unique Opportunities in Williston

The CAP Cadet Program gives youth hands-on experience in aviation, space, and leadership training.

For adults, membership offers the opportunity to serve the community in meaningful ways—everything from disaster response to search-and-rescue missions. Plus, there’s mentorship, aerospace education, and even the possibility of flight training.

Feeding the Nation: A Look at North Dakota’s Most Valuable Crops

Farming is the backbone of America—98% of the nation’s 2 million farms are family-run, feeding an average of 166 people each year. Though agriculture makes up just 1% of the U.S. economy, it’s rich in tradition and diversity, with more African American, Hispanic, and Latino farmers than ever before. One in four are new to the field, and many have served in the military.
In 2022, U.S. farm exports hit a record $191 billion. According to Stacker, here’s how North Dakota’s top crops ranked by value—and why the Peace Garden State punches above its weight in feeding the world.
