No fireworks this year in Fergus Falls. So while droves of people leave town today to spend their time and dollars in other communities, the business people in Fergus are already practicing their whining come the winter holidays because everyone spends their money out of town. When will you learn? You are unreliable in your service to the people of town. It's not hard to make the decision to leave, and to take our money with us.
You missed it BIG this time Fergus businesses--a little investment in the fireworks and your crying later might have some folks sympathetic.
I am heading out to see the fireworks in Perham, right after I head to the ATM for some extra cash to spend.
