The Williston Wire

No links, just headlines. It is easy to subscribe to The Williston Wire.

North Dakota led the nation in permanent housing growth in 2012, increasing its supply of housing by 2.3% in just one year. Overall national growth was 0.3%.

44,000 attend the Babe Ruth World Series, held in Williston (twice the number that showed up for the President's political event yesterday at the Washington Mall).

Williston had 350 students; Watford City adds 160. Look for some tough football, basketball, and wrestling teams coming out of the western divisions. 

Williston's Downtown Farmer's Market is now up to 20 vendors, having started with just three last year.

The "Bakken Boom Towns" TV crew was recently in Williston and Sidney to shoot some scenes.

This I would enjoy: the 68th Annual Old Settler's Days this weekend. I was last there in 2011, and it really was a treat. Highly recommend. A most relaxing day. It's "funny" how a little town like Alexander can really put on a spectacular event. If anything needs filming by an out-of-state film crew, it would be this.
