We want to let you know about an incredibly awesome concert that will be taking place Saturday, March 9th at 4PM by the The Roe Family Singers!
This family friendly concert will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church right here in good ol’ Minot! Opening for the band will be local bluegrass musicians, The Roughriders. There will also be an open jam session from 3PM-4PM that everyone is welcome to attend and play – so if you got an instrument, bring it!  This is guaranteed to be a great time for one & all, so don’t miss out!
And for those of you that want to see them again, they will be playing tomorrow night at Souris River Brewing starting at 9PM. It’s going to be a day of musical goodness and one that you won’t want to miss – especially those that say there is never any good entertainment that comes through this town!!  So come on down, we will see you there!

Did you know that you can purchase Otis & James Gift Certificates?  Well if you didn’t, now you do!  I know that we’re barely half-way through November, but what’s better than scratching names off of the old Christmas gift list than with some o&j bucks! If you would like to find out more, all you gotta do is CLICK THIS LINK and voila!  The power of the interweb.  It’s crazy.
My Peeps!  If you happened to stop down to the Otis & James on Halloween and partook (it’s a word, I didn’t get the red squiggly underneath it) of the Halloween Portraits, don’t forget that the deadline to place your orders with our special Halloween pricing is Friday November 23rd!  You can tell by the all caps that I’m not joking around here!
If you are confused as to how you should place an order, all you have to do is CLICK THIS GIANT LINK TO ACCESS THE ONLINE ORDERING GALLERY!  If you’ve ever placed an order online before (and I’m assuming that just about every single one of you out there has) you will have no problems figuring it out.
If for some reason you do, you can always call our studio at 701.838.6181, send us an e.mail at info@otisandjames.com or stop by during our studio open hours and one of us will be happy to help!  Remember, after November 23rd you will still be able to order, but the pricing will revert to our standard Otis & James Portrait Pricing – so don’t miss out!
Are you wondering where or how to order your pics from the Souris Valley Animal Shelter portrait sessions that we were so happy to once again participate in?  Well, in addition to the link at the top of this page, you can also CLICK THIS GIANT LINK TO ACCESS THE ONLINE ORDERING GALLERY!  Remember, Otis & James is not making any money from orders that you place – all proceeds after the cost of printing are going straight to the SVAS – so not only can you have awesome pics of your furry friends, but it’s also for a wonderful organization!
In case the title didn’t clue you in, MHS Prom Pics are now online! Â Thank you so so so so so much to everyone that came down to The FunCenter this past Saturday – you were all so beautiful! Â But of all these words, and let’s get to a big link…
Some of you may already be aware, but if not there is an exciting new part of the 2011 flood recovery happening called Hope Village – and they need your help in preparing for the project to begin. Â On Saturday, March 24th (that is tomorrow!), they will be holding a ‘Day of Hope’, and they need local volunteers to help with set-up, cleaning and general organizing before the volunteers arrive.
Those wishing to help tomorrow are asked to bring their own lunch; water will be provided. Â In addition, they are looking for people that can help with building steps, cleaning bunk trailers, assembling furniture and other general setup. Â Here’s the vital info for what is going on tomorrow:
If you are unfamiliar with the Hope Village project, here is a brief description of what it is and what they will be doing:
With the approval of the Minot City Planning Commission, Hope Village serves as the lead organization with the City of Minot for the organization and coordination of 501(c)(3), religious, and other volunteer organizations serving the people of Minot. Centered through Our Savior Lutheran Church in southwest Minot, Hope Village partners have already assisted countless families in the Minot area.
Our work is first with those in a community who are the most vulnerable: the poor, the disabled, and those who will have the hardest time recovering (which often includes relocation assistance). Uninsured and under-insured homeowners will receive assistance in clean up, repair and rebuilding of their homes. The process of case management identifies those who are in greatest need and will receive our help by a priority system.
Additional information about this incredible project can be found online at www.hopevillagend.org, also here is a brief video with more information –
If you have an hour, two hours, or all day – please consider stopping by and lending a hand so you can say you were a part of this incredible undertaking!
