FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Residents braved the tail end of a winter storm to enjoy something more tropical in Fargo.

The Red River Valley Reefers club on Saturday held its annual frag swap, an event that encourages salt water reef aquarium lovers to buy, sell and trade fish, coral and equipment.

Club member Curtis Ness tells KLVY-TV (http://nbcnews.to/10s83Zr) that the event brings "a little bit of the tropical reef" to the "middle of a land-locked area."

Many schools and other events were cancelled Friday because of a winter storm that began with a coating of freezing rain across most of the Dakotas.
