The Fargo Beat

Fargo-Moorhead Social & Word of Mouth Network

June 20, 2013
Have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I could be as fun and creative and charming and peculiar and attractive and good with simple Word documents like those writers of The Fargo Beat!? Well if you have, we may be looking for you to join our writing team. We are on the hunt for a couple people who love Fargo Moorhead, are relatively organized, like to think they are occasionally amusing, and are willing to make our standard salary of $0. If you may be interested and would like to learn more about what to expect as a writer, please email us at fargobeat@gmail.com or stand at the corner of Broadway and 2nd Ave N holding a sandwich board that reads Fargo Beat? and if we happen to walk by, we may acknowledge you.
