On This Day | Why Not Ward County

Folks everywhere know Minot’s well-chosen slogan, “Why Not Minot?” We’re proud of Minot and we share this pride wherever we go when we carry this slogan on car, on suitcase, or by our greeting, “Why Not Minot?” But, what about Ward county? As we see it, we have a wonderful opportunity here in this county to make ourselves better known and by so doing, to better know ourselves. And how could that be accomplished?
