I have never written a "fan" letter to a city but I just have to tell you how impressed I was with the friendliness of everyone we encountered on our recent stay in Fargo. My husband and I were both so impressed!!! If we asked directions or where to find something people were ready to help. Thank you thank you!!!!! We really appreciated all the kindness and helpfulness.

My wife and I rode to our hotel by the airports shuttle and the Fargo Moorhead Visitors Bureau was right next door, we went to look around and decided on the mall. Noticing we didn't have a car one of the workers offered to drive us to the mall. My wifes feet were so thankful!! Thanks Fargo/Moorhead. We can't wait to come back.

I updated Fargo and North Dakota for Lonely Planet's guidebook to the USA in 2001. I arrived the day the CVB was launching a new tourism campaign -- the same day, sadly, Fuji Film declared Fargo the 'least photogenic city' in the country. No one was phased, and I quickly saw what Fuji was missing: the people. I had a great time in Fargo, talking with people at the visitors center, in a downtown cafe by the old theater and across the river in Moorhead. I'm a believer in Fargo-Moorhead.

I have been visiting the area every summer since I was a young boy. People are so nice, always willing to help. What a fantastic region, thanks Fargo!

I wanted to thank you all for hosting an absolutely fantastic squirt hockey tournament. My kids had a wonderful time from the opening ceremonies to the final game. The pin trading was the highlight for many of the kids with keepsakes for a long time to come.
All the volunteers did a great job at keeping scores and schedules updated from rink to rink for our timely review. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly friendly and truely interested in making your event the best it could possibly be. This warm welcome was felt throught the community from the restaurants to hotels. What a great tribute to the Fargo-Moorhead area!
I hope our association has the privilege of coming up for this great event for many years.
