• I was browsing through my Word documents and came across the following:

  To celebrate the State that most people assume is part of Canada. Post a comment why you’re a fan!  AND HERE ARE THE COMMENTS:

  Down home is where they know you by name and treat you like family.  I love North Dakota because you can cash a check at your own bank without having to show your ID!

  I love North Dakota because it’s one of the only places where when in need of a helping hand…there is always someone there to help you out and plus…the parties are INSANE!

  I love the people in North Dakota! I also love the fact that we can see the endless sunsets and the beautiful northern lights on a regular basis. Proud to be a North Dakotan!!

  Yay, I’m member 245! That’s about our whole population, now, eh?
  I love ND because I can say “Uff da” without people staring at me.

  I love ND because of the 1996 VCSU Viking Football Program!!! GO VIKES!!!

  I love North Dakota because where else would the delivery guy leave your packages INSIDE your house when you’re not home! We’re blessed to be in Williston and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!

  “Home is where the ♥ is” and for me that place is North Dakota! Spent a few days there this summer. They still say ‘pop’ when you want a Coke/Pepsi/Sprite … “You betcha!” & “You bet.” were very used phrases … dinner is for lunch and supper is for dinner … North Dakota has the best people living there. Honest and hardworking … just like … me. ♥ They remember their own and ‘give a hand’ when someone needs it. When you move far, far away … they don’t forget you. They still remember that I am ‘Charlie & Lizzie Knuth’s daughter”. I’ve been gone since 1965 and I always treasure the opportunity to go back for a visit. I’ve always been proud of my German heritage. My grandparents were pioneers who worked the ground and provided for their families. YES, I AM PROUD TO BE FROM THE GREAT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA! YOU BETCHA!!!  Carolyn

  I love North Dakota because of the Godly, friendly, honest, helpful, & hard working people that call it home. Also, the clean air and you can see the stars at night and enjoy the open space. It is a great place to live and raise a family. We may not have all of the big fancy things that other states have but we have peace, quiet and love for one another. You can visit those other places and come back to the peaceful ND. 3 cheers for North Dakota!!!

  I love the endless prairie….

  I am a fan of North Dakota because it is the best kept secret in the world!!!

  I am a fan of NORTH DAKOTA because we have the hardest working, most loyal to STATE, COUNTRY, AND GOD people in the nation. WE will come help anyone in need any time any place. No rain snow sleet or -50 degrees will stop us.

  American by birth NORTH DAKOTAN by the grace of God!!!!!!

  I’m a fan of ND! Who else brags about the weather because it’s been below zero for two weeks straight?

  No place like home especially North Dakota!

  You have to be proud of where you came from. Bottom line.

  ND is a great state …. Especially Fargo

  I grew up off and on in ND although my family is from Texas. My dad was in construction and worked on refineries throughout the state. We usually spent our summers in Texas and winters in ND (which most would say was pretty screwy). But I LOVE North Dakota. And even though I lived all over the US since graduating from Steele-Dawson High School Class of 1990. I still have the greatest love for ND. I’m hoping to bring my family up there this summer for a vacation.

  I once had a conversation with an out of state customer and he asked where we were located. I told him North Dakota and he asked if it was near South Dakota. I said, “Yeah, we’re straight west of there.” which figures…. he was from California. true story.

  I once had a southerner ask me if it really was a state! Not sure how they got through school without knowing the 50 states.

  I love the mission – isn’t it the truth!! The “national” weather people I don’t think even know where it is….tsk tsk.

  It’s so true. It does produce people filled with awesomeness.

  North Dakota is a great state with many hidden treasures. (most people prefer them to be kept a secret) to find local businesses in North Dakota use www.yellowbook.com Also, vote on their latest commercial ending at www.yellowbook.com/tv
