LETTER

Director

It is my pleasure to introduce the very first issue of Mandan Magazine, a publication that celebrates all that makes our community so special. This magazine is the result of a partnership between the Mandan Progress Organization and Bismarck Magazine, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

In this inaugural issue, we are highlighting some of the exciting events happening in Mandan and the heroes behind these summer events. From the Buggies and Blues car show to the Mandan Rodeo Days 4th of July Parade and Art in the Park festival, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy all that our town has to offer.

In future issues we will be highlighting some of the local businesses that are helping to drive our economy forward and keep our community vibrant. You'll find interviews with restaurant owners, shopkeepers, small business owners, and other entrepreneurs who are passionate about their work and dedicated to making Mandan a great place to live.

We believe that the Mandan Magazine will be an important resource for everyone who calls this town home, whether you've lived here for years or are just getting to know our community. Our goal is to celebrate the people, places, and events that make Mandan a great place to live, work, and play.

I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this first issue, from the Bismarck Magazine team to our advertisers and sponsors. Your support is essential to making this magazine a success, and we are grateful for your partnership.

Finally, I want to encourage all of our readers to get involved and share your stories with us. If you have an event, business, or person you would like to see featured in a future issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for picking up the first issue of Mandan Magazine, and we hope you enjoy reading all about our exciting summer events..

Matt Schanandore Executive Director, Mandan Progress Organization
