Carrington, North Dakota Blog

If you haven't done so already, I'd like to invite you to take a look throughout my website/blog, CarringtonNews

.Com.  It's basically a guide to Carrington and the surrounding areas - obviously not a real newspaper, like the Foster County Independent. It's a site that I just do for fun – not money.  People are able to place free ads in the classified and real estate sections, and I don’t charge for links to business websites.

CarringtonNews.

Com gives people from across the United States and the world a chance to see what Carrington looks like and a chance to see some of the fun activities that go on in our community. You might be surprised at how many people drop in to my website every day from all over the world. More...

 WELCOME, BIRDERS!

Thanks for coming!

 

    

     A big THANK YOU to all the birders who gathered in Carrington this last week!    We are so happy that you appreciate our awesome variety of birds!
