The city felt more lonely and disconnected than ever as opportunities dried up. Mari returned to her native town Fargo, even though it meant putting her dreams on hold, but the situation turned into her favor to be a good one. She has been able to spend time with her family and start a new project that is fueling her creative spark.
Talking about the same Mari said, “Coming back home has been like a real blessing that I didn't think I knew I needed.” She is now hosting a new video series called ‘Backroads with Audra Mari’, which has recently launched on all Forum Communications Company news websites, produced by Click Content Studios.
Audra shared that the series is about unique shops, restaurants, breweries and other places in the region that are off the beaten path and less discovered. In the pilot episode of ‘Backroads with Audra Mari,’ Audra heads to lakes country to check out Spanky's Stone Hearth just off the beaten path in Frazee, Minnesota. She meets with Chef Josh at Spanky's to hear a little history of the establishment and learn about the food they serve.
