How does a tournament that attracts thousands of people from
around the country impact an often overlooked part of the
country?
We'll find out on Episode 184 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast
where we talk with Dr. Tim Mahoney, the mayor of Fargo. Mahoney
grew up in North Dakota and headed to Notre Dame and got some
serious degrees along the way. He went back to Fargo in 1980 and
worked as a surgeon, a job he still holds today.
We'll talk with Mahoney about the economic impact of the USA
Wrestling Cadet and Junior Nationals on the metropolitan area, how
the oil boom in western North Dakota has shaped the Fargo
population (it's in the east, in case you're geographically
challenged) and how the community welcomes the wrestlers and
coaches who compete in the Fargodome every year.
I also go into a bit of a history lesson, explaining how I got to
Fargo way back in 1999.
