At tonight’s West Fargo City Commission meeting we discussed the desire of the West Fargo Park District to sell/develop the Beaton Farm property. This is unchartered territory for the Park District to sell what many consider to be a park.

My drink of choice is bourbon. I love Bourbon! It’s a classic, simple, American drink; it’s appropriate and desirable to drink 365 days a year!
