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.

I was traveling through the Fargo Moorhead metro area one day and was on the I94 bridge going over the red river I had lost control and slammed into a cement wall. With my vehicle being severly damaged I attempted to drive up the 8th street exit in moorhead and head north. Upon reaching the concordia campus area my vehicle had begun to smoke. I quickly arrived at the visitors center where the staff welcomed me warmly and offered me beverages and phone calls with plenty of comfort. Thank you Fargo Moorhead you are an awesome city and I would be pleased to live here.

We have a cousin on the west coast while we live on the east coast. We decided to meet in the middle: Fargo. We had a great time! We visited the Plains Art Museum, The Roger Maris Museum at the mall, saw a live music show at the Fargo Theater, got great massages, and had a world class Italian dinner at Sarello's in Moorhead. All this during the month of February. We have to come back during the summer.

During a winter day in January, my wife and I were driving when we got stuck in pile of snow. This man stepped out of his snow removing vehicle and gave our car a push. Thanks to his help we got out of that snow pile. We came from a tropical country and can see that Fargo-Moorhead is truly always warm.

I visit Fargo Moorhead regularly on business as well as the ocassional trip that my family travels along for some fun. We have always been impressed with the friendliness of the community as a whole. There are plenty of hotels, dining options, movie theaters, and of course shopping opportunities. My first experience in the community was with desk agent at a hotel. This person was gracious, helpful, and had a sincere caring smile. It was one of the warmest welcomes I have received traveling through a community, and an impression was made that has kept us returning.
