We had a StoryCorps first during our MobileBooth stop in Fargo, North Dakota: a MobileBooth made out of cheese!

The StoryCorps MobileBooth in cheese form.

Who knew such awesomeness was possible?!?!!

The “Cheese MobileBooth” was made by Prairie Public Radio’s Bill Thomas for our listening event and reception and added to the celebration of StoryCorps’ time in Fargo. We almost didn’t want to eat the booth…but, of course, we did and it was delicious!

Cheese wasn’t the only highlight of the evening. A group of us gathered to listen to locally edited stories, as well as to connect and discuss the powerful act of listening.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared their stories in Fargo. And a big thank you to Prairie Public Media and the Fargo Public Library for hosting us and for the cheese-tastic send off.
