This public service message is brought to you by The Fargo Beat unofficially in conjunction with the Downtown Street Fair, food & craft vendors, fair volunteers, parents you may see who use leashes on their young kids, and the handful of men & women you will see with somewhat scraggly pony tails & tie-dyed shirts.
