Minot Holiday Window Walk & Voting

Downtown Minot

It is an ethos. It is both people and place. It is past, present, and future smashed together. It is community, relationships, and independent spirit. It is risk and opportunity. It is vibrancy and decay. It is taste, texture, sound, and smell. It is unfinished, evolving, and it is authentic. It is downtown. It is Minot.
