about The Fargo Walk of Fame
Below:
The Fargo Walk of Fame was started by local businessman Mike Stevens after
he visited Mann's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Mike began approaching
celebrities who were visiting Fargo, and with a slab of wet cement, he
asked for their hand and footprints, which he then set into a 40-foot
stretch of sidewalk in front of his downtown print shop. It was a way
to take a one-night stand at Bison Stadium or the Fargo Dome and make
it last forever. When the movie Fargo turned the city into something of
a celebrity itself, the Walk of Fame was moved to the Fargo Welcome Center
on the outskirts of town, More than 100 of the known and lesser-known
are now preserved here. Celebrities include a lot of country-western singers
such as Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Suzy Boggus, Pam Tillis, Sawyer Brown,
Highway 101, McBride and The Ride, plus many others such as Sesame Street's
Bert and Ernie, Bill Gates, Dr. Ruth, Styx, Def Leppard and many others.
