Let's show BEMIDJI our support!

On June 21st, 2025 our hometown of Bemidji got hit by the most destructive storm in our town's history. Straight-line winds up to 110 MPH took down trees across our community that were upwards of 100 years old.

Personally, my family was without power for 7 days and suffered the loss of several mature trees on our property. We were one of the "lucky ones". There are still hundreds of friends and neighbors struggling through the aftermath of this storm.

Compass Rose, along with other local businesses, has started to design and sell BEMIDJI STRONG items to raise money for the disaster relief efforts. Below are items designed by me (Hannah, owner of Compass Rose). We pledge to donate 30% of our proceeds back to the United Way of the Bemidji Area
