Sep. 20—GRAND FORKS — Theresa Caputo, "The Long Island Medium," and comedian Jerry Seinfeld will be coming to the Chester Fritz Auditorium on Thursday and Saturday, Sept. 22 and 24, respectively.
Caputo engages face-to-face with audience members who wish to connect with deceased loved ones, in hopes of bringing closure and discovering truths.
A practicing medium for more than 20 years, she has written four New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent "Good Mourning: Moving Through Everyday Losses With Wisdom From The Other Side."
Her show begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Billed as America's premier comedian, Seinfeld brings his standup routine to the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday. He's been hailed for his uncanny ability to joke about the little things in life that resonate with audiences everywhere.
Along with comedian Larry David, Seinfeld created the TV show, "Seinfeld," that ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe and People's Choice awards, and was named the greatest television show of all time in 2009 by TV Guide. In 2012 the show was named as the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll.
Tickets for both shows are available at the Chester Fritz Auditorium box office, 3475 University Ave.; charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or online at

"The Art of Giving" event, commonly known as "TAG," is set for 5:30-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Grand Forks Curling Club, 1124 Seventh Ave. S. Admission is free.
This 10th annual event features roughly 350 works by about 50 of the area's top artists and up-and-coming artists. Thirty percent of sales benefit local charities and non-profit organizations.
The original artwork will include paintings of all mediums, sculptures of varying styles, potter, mixed media, and photography, said Sally Miskavige, event organizer. The artist receives 70% of any sale of his or her work.
This is North Dakota's largest art exhibit and sale, Miskavige said. The last TAG event, which occurred in 2019, netted an unprecedented $300,000 in sales of artwork in just a few hours.
A bus from Fargo will bring art collectors and others, for free, to the TAG event. The bus will leave Swanston Equipment at 4 p.m. and arrive back in Fargo at 8 p.m. For more information, contact Molly Swanston at

TAG is a philanthropic group committed to supporting local charities and artists through the sale of art.
