Moving to a new place can be daunting, but in Casselton, you’ll find a community ready to welcome you with open arms. To give you a head start, we’ve compiled some invaluable advice from our very own residents.

Here’s what they have to say:

Embrace Community Life

• Cecelia Jorud emphasizes the importance of getting involved, “Get involved with the community. There are so many opportunities – the Casselton Summerfest Committee, local churches, and just getting to know your neighbors.”
• Joan Carvell seconds that, pointing out the significance of participation in local governance, “Get involved in committee/council. It’s a great way to make a difference and meet people.”

Culinary Delights to Not Miss

• Luke Faleide shares a local favorite, “Petro Serve caramel rolls, buns – they’re a must-try for anyone new to town.”

• Jo Sinner and Jennifer Voorhees both recommend Red Baron Lounge and Pizza Pub. Sinner enjoys “pizza and beer.” Voorhees enjoys both “pizza & nachos! I like both chicken and beef nachos,” she says.

• Joyce Hest suggests, “Don’t miss out on Pizza Ranch.”

Family and Social Connections

• Nikki Geist advises new moms to “Join Casselton Mom Chat (which is a private Facebook Group)! It’s a place you can talk about babysitting, kids, and things going on around town.”
• Joanne Seifert champions neighborly love, “Get to know your neighbors! Sit on your deck and visit over a beverage, snowblow the whole sidewalk if you’re out there first, share the surplus tomatoes from your garden.”

Local Gems and Services

• Angela Kolden highlights, “There is a local newspaper, the Cass County Reporter. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s happening in town.”

Supporting Local Businesses

• Jean Wilcox encourages, “Shop local. It’s a great way to support our community.”
• AJ raves about Club 94, “Order food from Club94! They serve some of the best food in town (in my opinion). My favorite part is you can call in your order to be picked up .. I usually gravitate towards their chicken, bacon, ranch wrap with a side of cheese curds . My husband loves their mushroom and Swiss burger as well .”
• Jaci Sullivan suggests, “Have them like all the business pages for our specials. It’s a great way to stay in the loop on local deals.”
