 The FesseNDen logo was designed by Peder Gjovik, a graphic art instructor in Wyoming and property owner south of Fessenden. The slogan, 'The Heart of Wells County: Harvesting Friends and Family Roots' was created by Carrie Opdahl, Fessenden resident. The logo and slogan were selected through a contest held by Fessenden Civic and Commerce Association in 2004. |
