fryin’ fish, feeding unity

We had a fish fry in Todd County, MN

by Erik Osberg on 7/14/25

Wasn't sure what to expect for our 1st campaign hosted fish fry. I like to think it was pretty darn cool. We bought frozen fish locally in Wadena. We had family & friends show up to lend a hand. The Hilltop Regional Kitchen in Eagle Bend was the perfect venue. 


One couple drove all the way from New London, MN. Some folks I knew from my hometown of Upsala were there too. I got to have a lot of individual conversations as well as address the crowd as a whole. Took questions too. 


I was talking with one couple and they were genuinely interested in who I was. Like "why" should they support me? After a few more questions & answers. He said "You don't B.S." only he didn't say B.S., "nope" was my response. He approved.


I am what I am, and I gotta be 100% me. Cuz that's what folks deserve. The truth. Not some made up reality tv-show version. Again, super grateful for all the support.

50 people showed up for our fish fry in Eagle Bend, MN.

We are gonna roll the dice and have our next fish fry outdoors. It will be at the BEAUTIFUL setting at Phelps Mill Park in Otter Tail County, MN. All are welcome to attend these free will donation event. Please register so we know how much fish to bring. We’d also like folks to bring a non-perishable food item or toiletries to donate to local food shelves.

We were in Stearns County last week for a garage party. 68 people came out to connect and chat about what is on their hearts and minds. No scripts, no suits. Just honest and open conversation that creates a shared vision & values. We seek to understand first.  Huge thanks to our hosts and huge thanks to everyone who showed up. We are forever grateful for the support.
