Once again, Williston and Williams county were on top. Again beating out Fargo and Cass county. None of the press releases even mentioned Williston, but I wonder if people are just getting tired of all the Williston record breakers? Tioga did amazing as well with over 304 million...Williston over 950 million! Crazey!
Yes, I saw that, also: Williston was noticeably absent. I was hoping someone would send me the link. Thank you.
DeleteI'm depending on folks to send me updates while I'm traveling; makes the blogging much more efficient.
Thank you. I will add the link to the post so it's easier to access.
See Burke purchases vs sales.

Williams beats out grand Forks and Cass, Combined. Maybe the whole red river valley.
Wms. Purchases are almost a third of ND.
But, this was when Twinkies were available. Look for a big drop.

Twinkies will return.
DeleteThey used to say two things would survive a global nuclear war: Cher and cockroaches.
Twinkies will be added to that list.
