MinotVoice
“I am sitting in my office here thinking about Minot and its wonderful potentialities and the remarkable progress which it has already made, and I might tell you that I did some pretty strong community advertising for you on the various trains coming east. If there was any man who was willing to be talked to who did not hear about Minot, I would like to have his tintype.”

Why We Chose It
These days, we’ve got talented professional people who help tell Minot’s story at the Chamber-EDC and Visit Minot, but none of them hold a candle to a stranger striking up random conversation and saying a good thing about place unprovoked. That’s something to remember and do, too… because its well within your control!
