🎢 Best Fargo Attraction?
"The Red River Valley Fair, of course!"

⏰If a friend had just 4 hours in town, where would you take them?
"I would take them straight to Downtown Fargo.

I've always believed the heart of a community is found in its downtown, and Fargo is no exception. My connection to Downtown Fargo began early in my career when I worked at the Radisson Hotel Fargo. It was there that I developed a deep appreciation for the energy, hospitality, and sense of community that make downtown such a special place.

We would spend our time strolling Broadway, exploring locally owned shops, grabbing a great cup of coffee, enjoying one of the many outstanding local restaurants, and, of course, stopping for a photo under the iconic The Fargo Theatre marquee. If there's a festival, live music, or public event happening, even better, that's when downtown truly comes alive.

What I love most about Downtown Fargo is that it perfectly blends its rich history with new ideas, local entrepreneurs, and a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. For me, Downtown Fargo isn't just the center of the city, it's the heart of the community, and there's no better place to introduce someone to Fargo."

🎄 Favorite Fargo Moorhead event?
"In addition to the Red River Valley Fair, I always enjoy going to the Concordia Christmas Concerts. I'm truly a sucker for anything holiday-ish and this event tops them all. However, returning to the area from a 15 year hiatus, I am looking forward to experiencing more events that are new to me and my family!"
